Prayer: Henri Nouwen
O Lord, how hard it is to accept your way. I am trying to overcome the feelings of alienation and separation that continue to assail me. But I wonder now if my deep sense of homelessness does not bring me closer to you than my occasional feelings of belonging. Come be with me where I feel poorest.
What a gentle and eloquent way to express a desire that I often speak to God: "Come be with me where I feel poorest."
ReplyDeleteWe are all poor. That is a primary reason that God loves us.
