June has finally ended. Hooray, I survived!
With all the craziness that came from this past month, whether it was attending an event, planning an activity, or from participating in a meeting, I have found it extremely difficult to reflect and understand where God is calling me to in my life.
It has been hard putting my thoughts into words so for this week I have decided to write a personal prayer to God. A prayer that can hopefully lead me closer to God once again and one that can also help me to hear God’s words more clearly in the future. I hope that whoever is reading this that you can join me in prayer and help me by lifting up these simple words to Christ.
Almighty Father,
I come before you today eager to hear Your voice. Although it may feel like you far away I know that deep down in my heart You are still there reaching out Your hand to me, wanting to help me and to guide me back to You. With all the distractions that I have been facing as of lately, may You open my eyes so that I can see You more clearly in my life. Help me to trust in You and to believe that You are carrying me through this “spiritual dry” moment. I pray that I can make myself more available to You as You always make yourself so readily available to me in the church and through the sacraments. I offer up this period of spiritual confusion to You and I place them into your most loving and gracious hands. May I be able to see Your light at the end of this all, and I pray that I can hear Your voice again so that I can follow you as the faithful disciple You have called me to be.
Amen.
