Slow Me Down, Lord
Slow me down, Lord!Ease the pounding of my heart by the quieting of my mind.
Steady my hurried pace with a vision of the eternal reach of time.
Give me, amid the confusion of my day, the calm of the everlasting hills.
Break the tensions of my nerves and muscles with the music of the sining streams that live in my memory.
Help me to know the magical power of sleep.
Teach me the art of taking minute vacations: of slowing down to look at a flower, to chat with a friend, to pat a dog, to read a few line from a good book.
Remind me each day of the fable of the hare and the tortoise that I may know that the race it not always to the swift; that there is more to life than increasing its speed.

Let me look forward into the braches of the towering oak and know that it drew great and strong because it grew slowing and well. Slow me down, Lord, and inspire me to send my roots deep into the soil of life’s enduring values that I may grow toward the stars of my greater destiny.
