A Prayer by Fr Richard Rohr
Let us be present to the now.
It’s all we have
and it’s where God will always speak to us.
The now holds everything,
rejects nothing and,therefore,
can receive God, too.
Help us be present to the place we’re most afraid of,
because it always feels empty,
it always feels boring,
it always feels like it’s not enough.
Help us find some space within
that we don’t try to fill with ideas or opinions.
Help us to create inner space,
because you always show yourself best
where we are hungry and empty.
Keep us out of the way,
so there is always room enough for you.
(Richard Rohr in his book ‘Hope Against Darkness’)
