Feeling small in isolation
I’m feeling very little in this time, Lord, as though You in a holy chastisement have sent all us squabbling children Into a sort of global time-out, Restrictions, like when I was a child and someone else was in control of my life. I gave in back then to my parents authority. I wasn’t one […]

In this time, send us Your Peace
Good morning Father. As with the whole of the last week, You have blessed us here with clear skies and warm weather.

Love Song
Words don’t flow the same way, Father, when I speak to ones other than You. The point of my story is too easily lost, when I lose sight of You. And my purpose dims, when my eyes turn from You. I only want to write to You, Father, My Heart. My words are meaningless and […]

Learning to pray
Today’s reading is on prayer…how to pray and the story of how You taught Your disciples to pray. I pray I’ve learned to pray, Father, to come to You, turn to You with complete trust in Your perfect love for me. It’s similar to that feeling a small child has for a parent. You’re so […]

Speak God’s truth. Leave the rest to Him.
