Saturday’s Reflection
DRAW ASIDE tonight and look up to the heavens. You don’t have to say anything. You don’t have to pray. Think about the vastness of the universe, the way in which God set each star and planet in its place. Listen. Look. Marvel. Make time for silence and solitude. As you behold the glory of creation, be reminded that it is this Creator God who is journeying with you. . . . What is God saying in your spirit?
Prayer
Almighty God, when I look to the heavens, I know that you are much bigger than I can imagine. At times our troubles seem so big. It often leaves me feeling ____________________.
Holy Spirit, remind me of your awesome power. Allow me to hear the gentle voice of God speaking to me in moments of quiet. Amen.
