Prayer & Meditation

Guided meditation and prayer based on Psalm 34:18

How can I search for beauty and truth unless that beauty and truth are already known to me in the depth of my heart?

May we learn to sit with you in silence, and know it is enough to know you, and be known by you, and know ourselves...

I yell out to my God, I yell with all my might...He listens. (Psalm 77)

To the degree that our prayer has become the prayer of our heart we will see more light and more darkness, more grace and more sin...

Deep silence leads us to realize that prayer is, above all, acceptance.

Like us, you know pain and sorrow. So when grief, pain, and sorrow come knocking at our door, incline our ears toward you..."

Help me trust my own worth as one you call Beloved...

A guided meditation along the path of Love.

I may not always be with God, but God is always with me.

"I forget that I am called, invited, and loved with all that I am — including my mess, my beauty, my faith, and my doubt."

"Prayer arises from our deepest hope: for the abundance of life that comes when we abide in our deepest home, our widest consciousness."

Movement from loneliness to solitude is the beginning of any spiritual life...

She said, "How do you know when you are hearing from God?"︱I didn't know how to explain︱ It is to explain the butter grit of cornbread to...

"We will tell you the truth of our lives and of this world. And we will listen to the truth you speak back to us..."

Know that God's word is spoken fully only in silence.

Gratitude, Review, Sorrow, Forgiveness, and Grace

You have to trust the place that is solid, the place where you can say yes to God’s love even when you do not feel it. . . .

This week's guided meditation is based on the writing of Henri Nouwen.
