Loving Father,
teach me to be silent,
so that I can stay close to you
and listen as you speak
within my heart and through
what I see, hear and what men
Speak.

In silence, I listen and find you in me.

In every living thing, the life cycle
and life’s ups and downs your
voice can be heard and your
presence felt.

In silence, I listen and find you in everything.

I thank you for your gift of silence,
as a cord linking me to your heart
and as a key that unlocks your
treasured words of truth into mine.

In silence, I listen and find you in me.
