I used Thomas Merton’s devotional book, A Book of Hours, this morning in my prayer time. One of the prayers he wrote awoke in me a new desire to remain in God’s presence.
Father, Father, whom we thought so hidden
Somewhere behind the jealous walls of Mars,
Oh how You visit us, at the deep roots of life
With glad reprisals
When is the last time you felt God visited you? When is the last time you truly yearned for more of God?
Today is the day. Stop what you are doing right now and pray for God to become real to you in this moment and throughout the rest of this day.
Father, move among us today! Wash over us with Your love!
Amen
