My centering text for today is Psalm 20, which has the inviting phrase, "May he grant you your heart's desire." When I first read that, I thought, "How wonderful!" But upon deeper reflection, I came to the truth, I don't even know my heart's desire. So as I was walking and praying this morning, my prayer got transformed to, "God, what is your heart's desire?"
As I brought various persons and situations into my prayers, I left behind what I wanted for them, and asked, "God, give them your heart's desire for them."
At Boston College several summers ago, I learned from the Jesuits that God only wants for us our deepest happiness. May that also be our heart's desire.
Love,
Pastor Lynn
