Practice the Presence of God
The Rev. Dr. Cynthia Forde
What is your need for this day? What are you struggling with today? What difficulty do you face this moment? I invite you to pray - to be present to the love of God.
Abba, Papa, Here I am standing with you., Here I am … in my littleness, trusting you to deliver me from my sinfulness, forgiving me as I forgive others, when I need food, or water that gives eternal life, clothing, or protection from all evil, here I am! Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Here I am with you!!! I put all my trust in you because you care for me.
Amen, We let it be done.
The Hebrew Amen means truly, it is true. “Amen!” More than a word, it is an all-embracing attitude: ‘to stay, to support, to be firm, true, faithful. It is like coming home and sinking down into your favorite easy chair… letting go completely.
And a miracle happens as you practice the presence of God - God transforms the remnants of your life to wholeness. Because “Someone” happens to you.
