________________________Meditation

Come away from rush and hurryto the stillness of God’s peace;from our vain ambition’s worry,come to Christ and find release.Come away from noise and clamor,life’s demands and frenzied pace;come to join the people gatheredhere to seek and find God’s face.

In the pastures of God’s goodnesswe lie down to rest our soul.From the waters of his mercywe drink deeply, are made whole.At the table of his presenceall his saints are richly fed.With the oil of his anointinginto service we are led.

Come, then, children, with your burdens—life’s confusions, fears, and pain.Leave them at the cross of Jesus;take instead his kingdom’s reign.Bring your thirsts, for he will quench them —he alone will satisfy.All our longings find attainmentwhen to self we gladly die.

– Marva J. Dawn, Come Away from Rush and Hurry
