Speak gently in my silence.
When the loud outer noises of my surroundings
and the loud inner noises of my fears
keep pulling me away from you,
help me to trust that you are still there
even when I am unable to hear you.
Give me ears to listen to your small, soft voice saying:
"Come to me, you who are overburdened,
and I will give you rest ...
for I am gentle and humble of heart."
Let that loving voice be my guide.
Amen.
--Henri Nouwen

Thanks, I needed this as I am trying to take quiet time everyday, and struggle with all those noises and voices.
Still requesting prayers over here. My husband's depression is actually lightening a little, so now am dealing my own anger and frustration with him.
On it, Juniper. And please pray for us here in a similar challenge, as I learn to manage my PTSD and my husband deals with his feelings about living with it....
