Night Prayer 

Is the feeling of love that fills the room upon awakening and hearing Jesus say, “You are my child.”   

It is the joy of hearing God’s voice in the night promising, “I will make a way in the desert.”  “I will place in your heart the roads to Zion.”   

It is a smile on my face as I remember a friend and offer a prayer for a safe journey.   

It is dreams of flying, of worshipping, and preparation.   

It is sounds of angelic music and the words and phrases of Taize.   

Night prayer is the purr and poke of Deli the cat. 

Her back against mine.

Her silhouette in the dawn hours.
