These 4 short first-person “Conversations with God” poems reflect on hope, peace, love, and joy in a way that feels personal and intimate. These prayers are honest and pure, innocently child-like in their inquiry. We hope they invite you into a prayerful and intimate conversation with God throughout the weeks of Advent.
Prayers written by Sarah Are.
"God held me a little tighter and said, 'Little bird, remember how loved you are, and start small. Remove the stones of anger, hurt, and fear one at a time and peace will surely grow.'
Then God lifted up my arms and set me out to fly, and I realized
that, grounded in God’s love, I was beautiful and wild and free, and peace was a part of me. . . ."
