Oh, when a soul is hid in Thee For what adventure can it yearn Save love and still more love to learn, And thus to love increasingly, So deep does love within it burn? My God, I pray Thee for a love That years until I see Thy face. And builds itself a nest above Within its true abiding place.
The circumstances of our lives are another medium of God’s communication with us. God opens some doors and closes others.... Through the wisdom of our bodies, God tells us to slow down or reorder our priorities. The happy coincidences and frustrating impasses of daily life are laden with messages. Patient listening and the grace of the Spirit are the decoding devices of prayer. It is a good habit to ask, What is God saying to me in this situation? Listening to our lives is part of prayer.
