When nothing is going right.
Reflect on Meister Eckhart’s insight:
“You must bring God everything –
Your dreams, your successes, your rejoicing.
And if you have little to rejoice over, bring God that little.
And if your life seems only like a heap of fragments, bring God the fragments.
And if you have only empty hands, bring God your empty hands.
Shattered hopes are God’s material; in God’s hands all is made good.
You must bring God everything!”
And then pray: “O God, bend my heart to follow Your will and prompt my voice to praise Your Holy Name, cleanse me from any worthless, evil, or distracting thoughts. Grant me Your grace today – so I pray with reverence and love - in awe. Listen to my pleas, hear my prayers, and answer me. Guide me with Your Spirit that I may shine forth Your Radiance to the world.” [Dcn. George Kelly]
