March The Twenty-Eighth

A QUAKER SAYS: When I am in meeting for worship, I try to compose myself and loosen the hold that all the things I've been fretting about seem to have on me. I try to clear them from my mind, but find it very difficult. I want to empty my mind so that God can come in. I try to get in touch with Him and ask Him to be with me. I try to listen to what He wants to communicate to me. I don't feel that I want to ask Him for things specifically, but just entrust myself to Him along with all those I care about.
I want to be receptive to His influence and take it with me when I leave, so that it will strengthen me and enable me to learn from everything that happens to me, and understand the way that God wants me to go.
