I came across this rendition this morning. There is much here I like. Today is The International Day of Peace and my birthday. A good day for me to remember that Jesus walked among the lilies and considered them beautiful. As are all of you. Let's give the world a break and spend some time with God today.
The Lord is my Pace Setter . . . I shall not rush.
He makes me stop for quiet intervals.
He provides me with images of stillness which restore my serenity.
He leads me in the way of efficiency through calmness of mind and His guidance is peace.
Even though I have a great many things to accomplish each day, I will not fret, for His presence is with me.
His timelessness, His all importance will keep me in balance.
He prepares refreshment and renewal in the midst of my activity by anointing my mind with His oils of tranquility.
My cup of joyous energy overflows.
Truly harmony and effectiveness shall be the fruits of my hours
for I shall walk in the Pace of my Lord and dwell in His house for ever.
A version of Psalm 23 from Japan, as reprinted in Mother Teresa, Life in the Spirit:Reflections, Meditations, Prayers, ed. Kathryn Spink (San Francisco, Harper & Row, 1983)--
