In prayer we are neither on the one hand dialoguing with an outside source who utters messages from without, nor are we simply talking to ourselves. We are reaching deeply into ourselves and sensing more clearly that we are in God's knowledge and love. We are discovering the Divine within us. We are experiencing ourselves and our lives as uttered by God, and we listen.
your people...
Restore us, O Holy One;
let your face shine upon us,
teach us to love...
You companion us through the wilderness,
through the shadows created by fear.
You plant your Seed into each heart...
Restore us, O Holy One!
Let your face shine upon us,
teach us to love!
