Daily Bread

Being aware and grateful for our planet's capacity to provide food, and all the hands involved from planting all the way to our meal will help you live in deeper awe and gratitude. Discovering that the Aramaic word for bread is the same as for understanding and wisdom, this line of the prayer takes on new meaning. The Divine Feminine Wisdom is one that is creative, generative, embodying and fostering possibility. Together, we find ourselves full of both kinds of bread, more able to enter the world with strength and direction, both from "above."

On Earth as it is in Heaven

Building on the passionate invitation, Thy Kingdom come, the second half of the second line of the Lord's Prayer follows suit, seeking to be fully aligned with the Divine. The more that happens, the more we find ourselves naturally living in response to the winds of the Spirit of God, and less in the way of what Love is trying to build in the world. Less about following rules and sin management, and more about living in deep relationship with the One that unites us all.

Thy Kingdom Come Like Hallelujah

It turns out that the second line of the Lord's Prayer in Aramaic requires an entirely different tone than most of us have been advised. WAY different tone. Can we handle it?

Abba. Hallowed.

The first line of the Lord's Prayer offers much food for thought. Loosen your belt...

Hesed: Your New Favorite Hebrew Word!

This one of a kind Hebrew word has no linguistic equivalent, yet captures the essence of God and offers direction for our individual and collective lives.  Thank you, Dr. Jenny Matheny for hitting it out of the park!

When You Pray

Prayer is complicated and simple all at the same time. The goal? Also complicated. Sometimes we treat God like our personal genie who exists to grant our wishes, or a Divine Super-sized Santa to deliver goodies because we've been so good. Perhaps the greater goal though is simply finding ourselves in the Presence of God where we find all our needs meet on the deepest levels. Presence is where the healing, hope, love, and all the other things that fall under the umbrella of shalom reside. Good news! A lot of smart people offer a lot of wisdom to guide us toward meaningful engagement with God in prayer.
