Belovedness Prayer

O Lord my God,

draw me again into the stillness where You dwell.

In the silence between breaths,

let me remember that I am Yours.

You, O Holy Spirit,

are the breath that fills my emptiness.

You, O Christ,

are the Word that speaks within the quiet of my heart.

You, O Father,

are the ground of my being and the home of my soul.

I am Your beloved child.

I am seen and heard by You, O God.

I am formed from dust, yet filled with Your glory.

I am not lost, for You are Immanuel, God with us,

and I abide in You.

Create in me a clean heart, O God.

Renew within me the joy of being Yours.

Let my presence become prayer,

my silence become listening,

my words—few and full of grace—be born of You.

You, O Lord Jesus, teach me again the stillness of Mary

to sit, to listen, to love without hurry.

You, O Spirit of Life,

empty me of striving,

that I may rest in Your peace.

I am beloved.

I am seen.

I am held.

I am free.

I am home in You, O God.

Amen
