January cold and snow used to be a welcome season to read, reflect and plan for the coming months. That respite from the hurry of other seasons has largely vanished. Today a bitter winter storm is coming. I hurry to get stuff done and I yearn for the time to wrap up with God.
Nancy Copeland-Payton's book, The Losses of Our Lives, includes a prayer that seems fitting for this day:
Settle me into this moment,
this once-in-a-lifetime moment, O God.
Quiet me.
Make me still.
Give me courage to sit with my longings.
Let me hear your whisper
calling me,
beneath the surface
to your undercurrents.
Amen.
