Note: The first half of 2015 was a time of spiritual crisis for me. Doubts and questions that had been building for years came to a head in a moment of personal and family trauma. One of the outputs of that period was this prayer which I wrote carefully but have–in truth–only seldom prayed. (DL, Sept. 12, 2021)

Maker of Spacetime and Human Minds, you who are the Author of Good and Source of Light, please hear my prayer and grant my request:

I wander in uncertainty as to your truth and the path to your right hand. I want to know you as you would be known and rejoice in the joy that only can be found in the warmth of your fellowship.
