Thought for the month:


URC - Walking the Way - Living the life of Jesus today
Lord of all, as You walked this earth, sharing love, grace and mercy, we pray that we will place our footsteps in Yours and walk where You lead as we live out Your life in our daily living for Jesus’ sake. Amen

The Peace of the Soul


He calls you to rest in prayer;
To open your heart, let him meet you there.
Be silent, be still and let him share
The secret peace of the soul.


You’ll need no special words or phrase,
The Father himself will teach you his ways.
Just give him time in your busy days;
Find the lasting peace of the soul.


Rest your mind, let thoughts flow free
In thanks, in praise, in honesty
And then be silent and you will be
In the precious peace of the soul.


Nurture that peace, cherish it dear,
The rest will follow, each faltering prayer,
Ask in his name …. live in his power ….
But first seek that peace of the soul.


…Ask and it will be given to you;
seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
Luke 11: 9-10
