Reflection

“Just as a candle cannot burn with fire, human beings cannot live without a spiritual life.” ~ Buddha

Prayer

Gracious God,

Our culture often places great emphasis on our physical appearance. Diets, workout programs, gym memberships all encourage us to expend a great deal of time and energy on our appearance and physical health. But we are often less encouraged to spend time and energy developing our inner lives. Open our hearts and minds to your wisdom that we might understand the importance of the spiritual life. Inspire us through your Holy Spirit to devote ourselves to developing a rich inner life and a deeper relationship with you. We make this prayer in the name of the God who is the source of our being. Amen.
