Summertime comes with a vengeance this year across much of our world. Sustained high temperatures can have broad impact like damaging crops, illness or death for livestock, widespread power outages, and severe risk of wildfires. Several fires are blazing across the globe today. Sometimes our spiritual lives can feel scorched by heat, dried in the sun, or even singed by life’s occasional firestorm. 

Today’s Welcoming Prayer, first recorded in the 2020 Pandemic, will help you get in touch with your interior state of being, then gently walk you through the three parts of the Welcoming Prayer as you awaken to God’s renewing presence in your life. Find a quiet place, or pop in your earbuds wherever you are, to simply breathe and listen.
