I often think it is my work
to find You, and in the

tangle of my life I stumble
into brambles of doubt

and pits of uncertainties
and wonder where You

are hiding, and then I
remember: You seek

and I am found.

~ “An Unknowing That Makes Room” by Meister Eckart, Book of the Heart: Meditations for the Restless Soul, Edited by Jon M. Sweeny & Mark S. Burrows

PRAYER

God our deliver, whose approaching birth still shakes the foundations of our world, may we so wait for your coming with eagerness and hope that we embrace without terror the labor pangs of the new age, through Jesus Christ. Amen.

~ Janet Morley, from 2000 Years of Prayer compiled by Michael Counsell, p. 514.
