For Times Alone
Dear Lord, I am
now alone.
My home, once
filled with activity, is empty.
My work is done,
my obligations met,
and the moments
of silence I once longed
for now stretch
into hours of solitude.
Keep me
from self-pity.
Help me use my
time alone constructive -
by calling a
friend
or writing a letter
or taking a
walk.
Help me also to
remember that
I am never truly
alone, Lord.
You Who have remained
with me
throughout my
days of work,
are with me now.
Silent unseen,
and undemanding.
You wait as a
faithful friend with me,
Lord, that I may
pray to You
and listen for
Your guidance.
May I spend my
hours wisely and well,
and may I emerge
a better person tomorrow because of this time alone.
Amen
