Prayer for Today, Wednesday, October 16

O God,

 

We long for Your presence with us because we are incomplete. There is an emptiness that only You can fill. O we often look in other places. We try possessions, power, fleeting relationships, and even ritual, yet they all fail and we still are searching. Embrace us, we pray, with Your everlasting arms. In the midst of the divine mystery, may we know that we are loved and forgiven. We open our hearts to Your overwhelming grace and we give You thanks. We are abundantly blessed. Please hear our prayer in Jesus’ name. AMEN.
