Reflect
Children so often simply want to spend time with their parent or guardian, following them as they go about their day. They don’t need another child-centered activity, or to be constantly entertained and distracted—they want to feel connection. The same goes for our relationship with God—so often we go from one spiritual activity to the next, wondering why we feel so disconnected from him. Maybe instead of another activity, our souls crave a quiet moment with the Lord.
Pray
God, you are always with us, but we so often forget.
Bring our attention back to you,
so that we never forget your constant presence.
May we be mindful so that we can be prayerful.
Gently guide our thoughts to the sacred spaces,
the places of spiritual illumination,
so that we can meet you and praise you in the present.
Let our guilt about the past and anxiety about the future slip away
as we center ourselves in the now—that eternal access point to the holy.
Amen.
Act
