Lord, help me now to unclutter my life, to organize myself in the direction of simplicity. Lord, teach me to listen to my heart; teach me to welcome change, instead of fearing it.
Lord, I give you these stirrings inside me:
I give you my discontent, I give you my restlessness, I give you my doubt, I give you my despair, I give you all the longings I hold inside.
Help me to listen to these signs of change, of growth; to listen seriously and follow where they lead through the breathtaking empty space of an empty door.
from Celtic Daily Prayer; Prayer and Readings from the Northumbria Community
