I pause to be still;
to breathe slowly;
to re-centre my scattered senses upon the presence of God
Everywhere—from east to west— praise the name of the Lord.

“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know the way to where I am going.”

to allow my living to open me,
to make me less afraid,
more accessible,
to loosen my heart
until it becomes a wing,
a torch, a promise…
God, we pray for our family in Saudi Arabia. Help those who live their faith in secret. Help those who worship You in the midst of an abusive and dangerous work environment.
