In the Light of Forever

person drawing a circle with light in the dark.

Reflect

“Trust in dreams,” author Khalil Gibran once wrote, “for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.” Can your mind embrace the concept of such a thing, where time is circular, ceaseless? Close your eyes and imagine it.


Pray

God of unbounded space and time,
I live in the now, though my heart yearns for the past
and my mind cowers at the future.
But you are everywhere in all things and in all ways.
No time is foreign to you—and you bring a light that
casts away the darkness from my heart.
Be with me in this time, at this moment.
And fill my heart with the wisdom that your grace is endless.
Amen.


Act

Share this prayer with somebody who struggles to live in the present. Remind them that God’s love is timeless, endless, and everywhere.
