April 25, 2009

Here is today's prayer:

Yes, Lord, I will try to pray, even when I am afraid to face you and myself, even when I keep falling asleep or feel as though I am going around in circles, even when it seems that nothing is happening. Yes, Lord, I will pray-not only with others, not only supported by the rhythms of the choir, but also alone with you. I will try to not be afraid. Lord, give me courage and strength. Let me see myself in the light of your mercy and choose you. Amen.

-From A Cry for Mercy by Henri J.M. Nouwen
