Daily Office with Reflections from Fr. Mark, Thursday, April 30

The Daily Office of Morning and Evening Prayer are found in the Book of Common Prayer or online: 

Morning         Evening      

Psalm 37

The Psalm set for today is a long one. I’d encourage you just to focus on the first 7 verses. I once spent every prayer time I had for 6 months meditating on these wonderful verses. It’s packed with wisdom, and what we see there is a move from “fretting” to “stillness”. That’s a move we all need to make at this time. I encourage you to read each verse slowly and let the words sink deeply in to your soul. Notice the power of the verbs; “trust in the Lord”, “take delight in the Lord” and “commit your way to the Lord”. These are the steps that mark the move from fretting to stillness.
