Prayer

When I think of my prayer life with God, I see with the clear eyes of age how my relationship with God deepened and changed throughout my life.
I also see my whole life strung together in compact, defining moments of prayer like pearls strung exquisitely together on the strong fiber of God’s faithfulness and love for me.
Each new beginning and each ending tied off as a jeweler might make his delicate knots between each pearl in a strand so that none might be lost if a break occurs.
This is how my life of prayer appears to me.
