Easter 04.01.24
God of the garden, just as Peter ran toward you on that Easter morning, I too am running. I am running toward a stronger sense of self. I am running toward my call. I am running toward deeper relationships and deeper faith. I am running into the arms of love. Like Peter, I run toward you. Wait for me. I am on my way. Amen.
—prayer by Rev. Sarah A. Speed | @sanctifiedart
WEEKLY CENTERING PRACTICE Center yourself in darkness and light. Light a candle. Honor the darkness and see how the light shines.
DAILY QUESTION What gives you hope?
PRAYER Gracious God, I am buoyed by the sunrise and the smell of freshly baked bread. I am carried by the conversations that sound like, “Tell me your name,” “I love you,” and, “You don’t walk alone.” I am renewed by churches with open doors, and tables with open invites. Yes, hope finds me all over the place. Hope reminds me one hundred times a day that you are close, so keep tuning my heart to sing that song. Amen.
