Sometimes I forget
the power
that lives
inside of me.

My heart turns to static,
and I tune in
to anxiety,
while the Kingdom of God
hums patiently all around me.

The truth is,
I am a daughter of eternity.

I can weave
the frailty of my presence
into the grandeur of Yours.

I can lay my head
on Your heart
and remain open
to graces as they arrive
like ocean waves,
the gentle beating of a drum …

I can align
my little breath
with the infinite wisdom of Yours.

I can stand on Your toes
and twirl to the rhythm of heaven,
while here on earth.

I can summon
a chorus of angels
at any moment.

I can learn
in the magic
of Your merciful heart
to trust
a little more.

When you’re anxious, what helps to still your troubled mind? Padre Pio said “prayer is the key that opens the heart of God.” How have you experienced that open heart of Jesus pouring out blessings in your life? Have you experienced the transformational peace that surpasses understanding, which can be deeply experienced in prayer? Comment below, and I’ll be delighted to keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Lord in the dance of life, give us the courage to allow You in your infinite wisdom and glory to take the lead. Help us to surrender our fears, doubts, judgements, anger and pride to fully embrace Your life-giving majestic presence of infinite love in our lives. Give us the grace to deeply experience Your authentic care for us, so we can more fully trust in You as the source of all good things. Open our hearts to receive all the miraculous blessings and gifts you want to bless us with. Keep us and our loved ones safe in Your sacred heart, which is full of so much grandeur and beauty. In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
