Daily Prayers by Brother Matthew

Christ Jesus, when we find it hard to give you our trust, you never forsake us. You stay beside us and you open to us the beauty of your presence. You heal our wounds, and the day comes when your light will shine again in our hearts. The next step becomes possible and the good news of your love sets us going again.

God, you who love us, in the midst of our trials and even when we cannot see any way forward, you are with us. May our hearts sing in your presence, to bless you and praise you day by day. Your love is an eternal love, which will guide us always.

Eternal God, we can rely on your faithfulness at every moment. Through Christ you show us that even our denials are not an obstacle to your love. Risen from the dead, he has overcome death and he always comes towards us to open up the way of a communion in you.
