A Prayer for Your Longing

Prayer can be a way of naming the longings of the heart, a way of naming the stirrings of that small still voice within.

I invite you to join me in the spirit of prayer or meditation. 

To let your eyes gently close if this feels comfortable.

Spirit of Love, Spirit of Beauty, Spirit of Mystery
Many of us long to connect.
To feel connected to something bigger than ourselves.
To feel that tug of larger purpose, deeper purpose moving us through each day.

We long to see and to understand and to be seen and understood.
We long for meaningful conversation and laughter.
We long for those we love and who no longer live among us.
We long to experience beauty.

We long for music and movement and health and healing.

We long to experience and to know what is real.

And maybe there’s something else for you this morning, something else not yet named - the longing of your heart.

May we each hold the longing of our hearts as if it were a glowing treasure.
May each of us have a moment this week when everything is disrupted by beauty.

A moment when things seem to stop swirling.
A Beautiful pause in the midst of so much movement.

A moment that feels sacred and outside of time.

May it be so.

Amen
