Today I offer a picture that I took early on Sunday morning of the supermoon in the sky just before sunrise. When have we joined the cry of the Psalmist? In the dark, we cry out with all our pain and doubt. In the dark, we wait for the light to come and God to act.

Silent Prayer:

Find a comfortable place to sit. Set your phone or watch for six minutes. Close your eyes. Breathe deeply. As thoughts come to your mind – push them aside. Now is not the time. Trust in God to hold your life without needing to control it with our thoughts or actions. At the end of your time – say a simple “thank you” or “Amen.” Tomorrow, we will build on this spiritual practice by adding more time. Consider the time spent in silent prayer as an Advent gift – an opportunity to enter into God’s shalom/peace.

Today’s Silent Prayer Goal – SIX minutes

Scripture:

Psalm 88: 12-14

Are your wonders known in the darkness, or your saving help in the land of forgetfulness? But I, O Lord, cry out to you; in the morning my prayer comes before you. O Lord, why do you cast me off? Why do you hide your face from me?
