Synchronize My Heart to Yours {Heart Connect}

Lord, how do I keep my heart in tune with Yours

when life is spinning out of control

Sometimes there's just too much -

 with tasks and responsibilities

 especially for the careful and the diligent,

 the ones who prefer to be in control

 With news of disease and suffering

 even, and again, in our own family

 so unexpectedly, and so suddenly

But there is no control

and there is no slowing 

One moment leads to another

with no ceasing, and no slowing

we cannot stop time

Lord, in the noise and confusion of the moment

I am in need

Please synchronize my heart to Yours

I need an exchange

Your peace for my turmoil

Rest for unrest

Trust for my worry

Focus instead of discord

Your Perspective in place of confusion
Surrender in place of control

To synchronize - to coordinate, to combine. To keep in tune. To be connected. To the Source. Prayer. The tool of synchronization and transformation. The exchange between our Maker and His creation.

"As you behold His glory, you are changed so that your heart is a reflection of His. His will is reflected in your prayers. This is not because you now have more influence on Him, but because He now has more influence on you. The secret of prayer is not how to change God, but how to be changed by Him." (Jennifer Kennedy Dean)

Prayer - the transfer of what is on His heart, to ours.

Opening up my heart and soul to Him - in need, as I go through my busy days and as I continue to process some difficult news ...
