Sometimes I sit to pray - and the words don’t come. My mind and my lips are empty, drawing a blank.
In those moments, I don’t feel less connected to God. Instead, I feel like a deeper vein of communion is running through me. He is doing a work in me that is hidden but seems more true, more real and more important than I can consciously comprehend. I long to connect with that stream somehow. To understand the unfathomable work that I sense happening.
Often that comes through music.
For me lately, it has been through Sandra McCracken’s “Trinity”.
This beautiful song is a reminder to me that I am not alone. When no prayer can form on my lips, He is with me. When no thoughts seem coherent in my mind, he understands me. Before I existed, he WAS. Fully, in all of His glory, complete in the trinity, in communion.
That brings me comfort. I know I am not alone, though I sit in silence. I know I am held and I am known.
May this song bring that same peace into your soul.
