Lord, catch me off guard
today. Surprise me with some moment of beauty or pain so that at least for the
moment, I may be startled into seeing that you are here in all your splendor,
always and everywhere, barely hidden, beneath, beyond, within this life I
breathe. Frederick Buechner
When have you been caught off guard by God
recently? The ability to be surprised is
one of the holiest prayer practices in a world of information overload, where
we may feel like there is nothing new under the sun.
When did you behold or feel held by the holy
recently? This doesn’t have to be
splashy or spectacular, just an ordinary everyday moment you didn’t see coming
~ or a blink and you almost missed it kind of moment.
Have you picked up any new insight or questions so far
on the road to resurrection this year?
Have you held the tension of crucifixion and resurrection ~ the terrible
and beautiful ~ of life in a different way?
Doesn’t have to be some profound eureka moment. Just a soft, tender, timid insight you may
not utter aloud or see the light of day yet.
Hold and be held, release and be received by a grace
that longs to fill you each moment of this day.
Amen.
