Abba:
I begin this day with gratitude for the gift that is hidden in my center.
Remind me in the silence of surrender that I am connected by more than what keeps me apart.
Help me see that at the center of all that lives is a small piece of the very beginning, which was with you and is now your Word always with us.
Amen.
