I pray that
your thoughts will be flooded with light
and revelation knowledge; that
you will clearly picture
His intent in identifying you in Him so that
you may know how precious you are to Him.

We await the revelation of God in our lives, just as the first disciples did.
And, we are tempted to ask, if any good - any revelation -
can come from the simple, ordinary, deep seated patterns of our lives.
The invitation is to "Come and see."
It's an invitation to make a move into those simple places
and to discover Jesus there.

May All Your Dreams Come True

today's prayer

Dearest Lord,
Your invitation settles in my soul:
"Turn to me and be safe."
Something lets go inside when I take those words into my heart.
They are an invitation for me to rest.

So many moments of my life are filled with my own needs.
"Turn to me and be safe," you say to me again.
Give me the great grace to let go from the depths of my soul.
Help me to be released
from the demons I cling to with so much fear.

I hear your invitation to ask for help
and I begin to list all the places in my life that need healing.
"Turn to me and be safe."

You promise your saving help
and I know it is the only thing that can heal me.
I feel your presence in my life
and am aware of the growing joy I feel
as I anticipate celebrating the birth of your son.
