Prayer is…walking towards an open gate
Prayer is…finding solace in the company of God
Prayer is…hearing the good, the true, the valid
Prayer is…coming home
Prayer is…where I hope to spend most of my time
Prayer is…a happiness
Prayer is…what is offered to me
Prayer is…where my darkness is held
Prayer is…more than all of these
Prayer is…rest
Prayer is…finding new avenues
Prayer is…God saying, “ Tell me who you are”
Prayer is…being heard
Prayer is…learning to trust
Prayer is…an invitation
Prayer is…being reminded that there’s nowhere else I have to be right now, and nothing else I should be doing
Prayer is…God opening my eyes and heart and hope
Prayer is…waiting
(This is my response to Karen Hering’s suggestion in “Writing to Wake the Soul” to begin writing with the two words “Prayer is…”, repeating them as many times as you like and to follow where it leads. Try…)
