Dearest God, Yahweh, Allah, Ahura Mazda, Brahman, Great Spirit, you for whom we have so many names but are infinitely greater than all of them, we open ourselves to you. We, your children, all of whom carry the spark of your divinity within us, ask you to:
Dearest God, Yahweh, Allah, Ahura Mazda, Brahman, Great Spirit, ignite the flame of divinity within us with whatever we need to carry your light into a dark, desperate, disparaged waiting world.
If the “search for depth and meaning” attracts you, I invite you to visit www.wccm.org, the World Community of Christian Meditation, to learn about contemplative prayer. If this appeals to you, please email me at jlseidel1966@icloud.com to join me in a Zoom contemplative prayer group.
