This is holy ground.
Remove your shoes, bare your soul.
Simply “be” before your God.
The vulnerability frightens us.
We want to cover ourselves.
We want to hide.
You are worthy.
You are lovable and loved.
You are capable and skilled.
Though we don’t understand how or why,
we want to believe the divine promises.
You are enough.
We want to believe though often do not.
You are enough.
Not quite sure we believe that’s possible, we remove our shoes and open our hearts a crack.
Approach your God.
We approach shoeless, striving to open ourselves up to the divine possibility.
May the mystery of wholeness restore and refresh you.
Amen.
