A Prayer To Slow Down

Today's Missive is a simple prayer, in hopes that it may be of use to you.
I hope each of you has found time this weekend to relax, rest and revive.
All the very best for a happy and rewarding week and I sincerely look forward to our continued, good work together. 
Slow me down, Lord. 
Ease the pounding of my heart by the quieting of my mind.
Steady my hurried pace with a vision of the eternal reach of time.
Give me amid the confusion of the day, the calmness of the everlasting hills.
Break the tension of my nerves and muscles with the soothing
music of the singing streams that live in memory.
Help me to know the magical, restoring power of sleep.
Teach me the art of taking minute vacations...of slowing down to
look at a flower, to chat with a friend, to read a few lines from a good book.
Remind me each day of the fable of the hare and the tortoise, that I
may know that life is not always to the swift.
That there is more to life than increasing its speed.
Let me look upward into the branches of the towering Oak and
know that it grew great and strong because it grew slowly and well.
Slow me down Lord, and inspire me to send my roots deep into
the soil of life’s enduring values that I may grow towards the stars of my greater destiny.
