April 7 Prayer

April 7 Prayer
Do you recognize him?
Lk.24:13-35

“He was made known to them in the breaking of the bread.”
In the conversation being had
and in the questions, debates

In the wandering along the roadside
In the wondering
In grief and doubts,
In discontent

He is walking there alongside
asking questions
entering into the conversation
Drawing near

But not seen
For who he is
Not recognized
The risen one~

He was made known to them
in the tearing apart

to reveal what’s inside

All along He was there
He is here now
Waiting to be seen
To be recognized
In our waking and our walking
In our waiting and grieving

In our conversations to be had

In the tearing apart

The breaking of the bread

Let us find him there.

We Pray;
“Lord open our hearts to recognize the burning inside for you.
May we carry the flame to others and find you there burning within them too.”
Amen
