PRAYER STARTER #1

Please reflect on this photograph and let it lead you into prayer. May you find that imagination and creativity walk alongside you as you hold the image in your mind, heart and soul.

Each month I hope to share with our Gathering Grace community one or two of the reflections that my photograph inspired.

If you would like to submit a prayer/poem/reflection, please email me at Lori.Carmody@outlook.com.

Teach Me to Listen

Teach me to listen, O God, to those nearest me, my family, my friends, my co-workers. Help me to be aware that no matter what words I hear, the message is, "Accept the person I am. Listen to me."

Teach me to listen, my caring God, to those far from me - the whisper of the hopeless, the plea of the forgotten, the cry of the anguished.

Teach me to listen, O God my Mother, to myself. Help me to be less afraid to trust the voice inside - in the deepest part of me.

Teach me to listen, Holy Spirit, for your voice - in busyness and in boredom, in certainty and in doubt, in noise and in silence.

Teach me, Lord, to listen. Amen.
