The Peace of Contemplative Prayer

Dear Lord, help me to be more contemplative in my prayer. Help me to find you in the quiet of my mind even when I am surrounded by noise. Speak to me in the quiet of my heart even when I am overcome with the sounds of the world outside me. Be with me in the quiet of my soul even when I am most distracted by the chaos all around me. And though I may be resistant, bring me the loving peace that waits in the stillness of your arms.
