Prayer: Traditional Celtic

I weave a silence on my lips,
I weave a silence into my mind,
I weave a silence within my heart,
I close my ears to distractions,
I close my eyes to attentions,
I close my heart to temptations.
Calm me, O Lord, as you stilled the storm,
Still me, O Lord, keep me from harm.
Let all the tumult within me cease,
Enfold me, Lord in your peace.

It must be my Celtic roots but this really resonates with me and I can feel the peace of Christ as I pray it. Thank you for sharing this.
