The Prayer's Prelude: Silence

"Privacy is our attempt to insulate the self from interference;
Solitude leaves the company of others for a time in order to
listen to them more deeply, be aware of them, serve them."

-- by Eugene Peterson, "Earth and Altar: The Community of Prayer
in a Self-Bound Society".


我渴慕進入靈裡的安息,
因為我存在於令我不安的處境,
我渴求被邀請進入那令我謙卑,
感恩, 讚美的空間和關係之中!
讓我去表達對主恩的愛慕!

獨處時, 方醒覺自己並不孤單,
他邀請我去 take a break,
提醒我是時候去卸下裝甲,
活現出真我!


Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;
my hope comes from Him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation;
He is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
(Psalm 62: 5-6)
