Tuesday 10^th January: Day 3

Day three.... on the third day....

There’s some significance in the number 3!

Three in one God

Who rose again on the third day...

And for us it’s the day we’re tempted to think this blog-habit should be showing.

Like day 3 of a diet when you think everyone should notice you have been good for sooooo long!!!

But this is still only the start.  They say it takes 10 days to create a habit.  So only one more week to go before we can say we’re habitually making room for God in our lives!

In the meantime we need to keep practising.  Don’t overdo it but try to expand the time between the words in the prayer that follows so that you have time to breathe easy with God...

And you leave him room to get a word in edgeways!

God.

My God.

My Father

Lord

Holy Spirit...

Help me to be still...

Help me to sense you with me

And weaving in and out of each breath I take...

Help me right now, to rest in you...

This time is not about what others might see in me.

It is our time.

Together.

A one to one opportunity.

May I know how close you always are

And respond to you today.

In quietness,

I tell you of my lack of faith

My fears

My faults...

But you already know them

And on this Day 3

You continue to stand by me.

Open my heart as wide as yours.
