Thy Kingdom Come at Midday

You are invited to pause at this time in your day and reflect on the daily video from Thy Kingdom Come on the theme of SILENCE

A Prayer from TKC
Loving God, our hearts are restless till they find their rest in you.
Hold me, for the storms are raging and the waves crash over.
Be my rest and my security.
And even though human touch and human love is so beautiful and so longed for; help me to know today that it comes from you and, like everything that is good and beautiful, will return to you in the silence of your eternal and never changing love.
Be with me as I hold myself and hold others in your silent embrace.
Amen.
