The pool is deep today
The bottom not so clear
I drift in the gloom
Of my troubled heart
Yet you are here
With me in this
Your words of warmth
Buoy me up
Oh lord, I need you now
Now not to drown
But rather
Again to prevail
Drinking instead
From your sweetest streams
Flow in me my God
Flow in me now
Your cleansing and
Comfort
My only anchor
Draw me in
Draw [...]
Job 2 — please no, God
surfacing again
I
You purposed me
Before I was
so I could be today
You never doubted
Should or shouldn’t I
Just in case I wasn’t
Good enough
So now I buy
That ancient gift
To use
What I can be
Your life in me
Your love in me
Your hope for me
Forever!
Jesus, father, spirit, I welcome your presence, abiding and eternal in me. You will [...]
morning psalm
Dear God. You are here, now, and I acknowledge you and I make myself available to you. You are present in all things, You are here, even when I don’t feel you but now I do feel you. You reach into me
Your tender touch enlivens my heart—
Your loving breath upon my soul
Coming to find [...]
pulling the scab off
The Presence of God
In the silence of my innermost being,
in the fragments of my yearned-for wholeness,
can I hear the whispers of God’s presence?
Can I remember when I felt God’s nearness?
When we walked together and I let myself be embraced by God’s love.
Y
ou are here, to the degree that I can let myself experience you. [...]
seeking the safe place
the joy is fragile
it trembles tenderly
a new-born notion
that everything is not
dangerously transient
that
in every magic moment
a let-down lurks
so my heart still welcomes
those well-aimed darts
that seek out the unhealed heart
those little particles of pain
where my old self still hungers —
I take my heart in hand
And still my taunting thoughts
Their history a vivid memory
Of almost-fatal [...]
ANOTHER MEDITATION.
The Presence of God
As I sit here at my computer, God is present,
breathing life into me and into everything around me.
For a few moments, I sit silently,
and become aware of God’s loving presence.
I receive you my Father. You are the source of my life. Finally I am beginning to understand that you are FOR [...]
anxiety
the future always looms
possibilities
problems in disguise
problems

the cure?
live one day at a time

on the edge of eternity
the wave
where only
our next move
can make a difference

meditation 11 July 2005
From Sacred Space Daily Devotional
The Presence of God
To be present is to arrive as one is and open up to the other. At this instant, as I arrive here, God is present waiting for me. God always arrives before me, desiring to connect with me even more than [...]
meditation
from the Jesuit Site “Sacred Space” (link in the bar to the right)
The Presence of God
God is with me, but more, God is within me.
Let me dwell for a moment on God’s life-giving presence
in my body, in my mind, in my heart,
as I sit here, right now.
ME…
Let me just allow that thought to penetrate my [...]
