August Tuesday...

Today,
Dear One,
Who knows my heart inside and out,
Who knows my troubles, my worries,
my fatigue, my sadness....

You,
Who knows my doubt, my fear...
You
Whom I know as Love and Understanding and Faith....

To you I pray.

I pray for mindfulness, for a big heart, for vision, for energy,
and for hope...

I pray this prayer not just myself, but for all those who need this kind of prayer today.
I know You know who they are.

Amen.

Beautiful. Thank you. I have been wrestling lately with the question: If I was attentive and aware, would I be as sad and tired I am...because if I was aware and attentive , 1. I would not be judging something as "bad=sadness" or worrisome... 2.I would simply be present and KNOW and EXPERIENCE the presence of God within that which is wearing me down, making me sad... 3. Recognize the Beauty (aka God) within any situation and know Joy. I'm not sure I am articulating my thoughts well or if it Is possible? Again, thank you for the beautiful words.
