Have you ever allowed yourself to rest in God’s Love?
Years ago, as my father was dying, over many months I commuted between Ankeny and Marshalltown. My go to music for the drive was David Haas’ CD “Where the River Flows.” As I look back on that time, I have to say all that lyrical prayer brought me closer to God, taught me how to feel the presence of God in my life. Not so much on the rides themselves, but as I went about my business outside of the prayerful cocoon of my car. And one of the most precious manifestations of this fertile prayer life was as I lay down to sleep, especially when I was in my own bed, away from my mom and dad. I was able to allow the loving arms of God to wrap around me, and off I went for a sound and much needed restful sleep. It was the sweetest experience, and I actually looked forward to the moment when I would release it all and just let God be with me. I sometimes forget that I can still do that, anytime. I have found God always a willing participant in loving me.
