amen, it is so


hello god -
there you are
within reach of my thoughts and my heart
(always within reach)
thank you

it is good to be with you
in this place
in this moment
- now

please enter into my being
settle into my heart
move through my mind
guide me
help me follow your love wherever it leads me
help me include you fully in my experience of life
pure joy, unending love, the deepest peace

i get stuck
when i try to find words to name you, to define my faith
it feels impossible
like trying to fit the ocean inside a goldfish bowl
i can capture only the smallest bit
of who you are

but that is okay because
each day offers a chance to immerse myself in your love
each moment an opportunity to bring my thoughts to the highest places
with you there beside me to share in the present
- now

each person i encounter
becomes a chance to share your love
each challenge, a way to strengthen my trust
refine my belief
expand my ability to see
(or to turn away
in disbelief)

i am
so grateful
to feel your presence
like the ground beneath my feet
(walking barefoot on sacred ground)

you bring hope to each day
- now

amen
it is so
