It is hard to find words for prayers this morning.
When it is hard to find words for prayers, we have breath.
Breathing in our painful awareness, the ache of our heart
Breathing out forgiveness, and blessing and love
Held in divine Presence.
And if we need words for our breath:
On the in breath: Love is stronger
On the out breath: than hate.
Yes, our breath can be our prayer, breathing in life, breathing out hope.
Thank you Janice for this reminder. I so needed it as my heart feels heavy. I have been struggling to find the words I long to say… Your reminder to bring my awareness to my breath and breathe is just what was needed for me today . Thank you for offering words for the breath.
