Today’s gospel confirms that our God is the God of the living, so our prayer can be a quiet reflection on the being of God.

We could begin our day with the words—‘Be still and know that I am God’. For each one of us, God is personal, ever close, ever wanting his being and our being to become one living reality. The true nature of our being is a mystery beyond our comprehension; but his will to identify with us is clear.

The psalm for today is confident of this: ‘Blessed be the Lord, my rock and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield in whom I take refuge’. We can place our day-to-day lives lovingly into the hands of God because God is unwavering in his relationship with us.
