Prayer is very real to me today as I pray for someone I love, someone near and dear to me. Most of the usual shoulds, formalities, and am-I-doing-it-rights ? have just disappear. I am praying from the heart; it’s all authentic.
My 78 year old brother-in-law has been in and out of the hospital for the past two months and is back in as I write. I suppose that his particular age and life stage has some bearing on my prayer, but I don’t seem to be having that kind of conversation with God. In fact there aren’t many of words in my prayer. I just find myself picturing him, my sister and their children in a circle of light and asking that God surround them with peace and serenity, whatever that might mean.
That’s all I want to say today.
