Here is today's prayer:

Gentle me,
Holy One,
into an unclenched moment, a deep breath, a letting go of heavy expectancies, of shriveling anxieties, of dead certainties,
that softened by the silence, surrounded by the light, and open to the mystery,
I may be found by wholeness, upheld by the unfathomable, entranced by the simple, and filled with the joy that is you.

-Ted Loder (Guerrillas of Grace, pg 23)
