Exodus 12 ~ Pray with me ~ still...

In earlier Prayer Posts I asked 
you to bring another to the table.  
Please bring another today, too.
Let’s pray together.  
Explore together.  
Hear Jesus’ Gospel Prayer Questions together...

“How do you read it?"
~ Luke 10: 26
"What are you thinking in your heart?"
~ Luke 5:  22
Sit next to each other…and with me.
Be aware 
our shoulders are touching
our folded knees are touching
Invite God to sit with the two of you...and with me.
Be aware 
our shoulders are touching
our folded knees are touching
Be still our souls with this a while…
The three of you...with me... read the Lord’s Prayer 
from the Aramaic together…
hear the others’ hearts sing this prayer
hear your heart sing this prayer

"Oh Thou, 
from whom 
the breath of life comes,
who fills all realms 
of sound, 
light 
and vibration.
May 
Your light be experienced 
in my utmost holiest.
Your 
Heavenly Domain 
approaches.
Let Your will come true - 
In the universe
 (all that vibrates)
just as on earth 
(that is material and dense).
Give us wisdom 
(understanding, 
assistance) 
for our daily need,
detach 
the fetters of faults 
that bind us, 
like we let go 
the guilt of others.
Let us not be lost 
in superficial things
(materialism, 
common temptations),
but let us be freed 
from that what keeps us off 
from our true purpose.
From You 
comes the all-working will, 
the lively strength to act,
the song that beautifies all 
and renews itself from age to age.
Sealed in trust, 
faith 
and truth.
(I confirm 
with my entire being)
~ The Prayer To Our Father
(from the original Aramaic)




Be still our souls with this a while…




Read Exodus 12: 7 from your Bible.

Again, sit a minute with just that line…


Read Exodus 12: 12 from your Bible.


Again, sit a minute with just that line...
while our eyes are closed
while aware of our hearts’ beat
while our breathing is smooth and deep


Hear, again, Jesus ask, 


"How do you read it?"
~ Luke 10: 26
"What are you thinking in your heart?"
~ Luke 5:  22



What questions are surfacing for you?
Ask your prayer partner, 
"What questions are surfacing for you?"
Ask me, "What questions are surfacing for you?"



Ask God,
"What do I do with these questions?"
while imagining 
what could have happened if 
the First Two People
had asked the question, 
"What do I do 
with all these new questions 
I have now, God?"

rather than Hiding in the Trees?



Ask God,
"What do I do with these question?"
while visualizing Mary Magdalene  
at the tomb asking
 'the gardener',
"Where is my Master?"

rather than Hiding in the Trees.

Peace.
