Day 30: Prayer

I've found more opportunities for prayer the last few days and it's made me think about all the forms that prayer can take.

Songs
Silent prayer
Prayers in church
Recited prayers at meals and bedtime
Prayer journaling
Prayers with touch
Prayers with partners
Rosaries
Candles
Elaborate
Simple
Free form
Structured
Rhythmic
Groaning
Joyous
Sorrowful

Sometimes I experience God in prayer.
Sometimes it feels empty and alone.
Sometimes an answer comes.
Sometimes silence.
Sometimes it makes so much sense.
Sometimes it feels silly.

Yet,  I return.

With my heart, my faith, my doubt, my hope, my skepticism, my anger,  my fear, my dreams and my gratitude.

And the Spirit meets me.  However I come and with whatever I bring.
