Pause for Prayer: THURSDAY 8/6

On August 6 the Church celebrates the Feast of the Transfiguration when Jesus hiked to the top of Mount Tabor with his friends, Peter, James and John.  On the mountain top, Jesus was transfigured before their eyes and they had a glimpse of the glory of Christ the Lord. 

We're not in Israel, Lord, 
and Mount Tabor's no where in sight
- so where might you take me today, Lord,
to give me a glimpse of your glory?

Will you walk me around my neighborhood
and let your light shine on the place where I live,
on my home, my neighbors, my town?

Will you sit with me on my porch,
on my doorstep or in my backyard,
with the glow of your grace warming my heart?

Will you find us a quiet corner
and spend some time with me there,
the light of your face chasing shadows away?

Will we go for a ride to the woods or a field,
to a Tabor nearby or the shore,
where nature's shot through with your luster?

Will I just close my eyes and open my heart
in a moment of prayer and reflection
while your radiance illumes my soul? 

We're not in Israel, Lord, 
and Mount Tabor's no where in sight
- so where might you take me today, Lord,
to give me a glimpse of your glory?

Amen.
