Prayer for the Busy

"Who am I, Lord? In the rush of life I've pressed ahead, but I'm not sure I've always known what I was doing. Take me back in time today. Bring the scenes of my life into focus. Take me back to a room called Remember, and let me find my faith. Amen"

~Wayne Brouwer in his book Walking on Water
