Prayer Labyrinths

A prayer labyrinth is a series of lanes formulating
a path to the center of the structure and is used
to walk and take time to seek

commune with, and meditate on God.

One walks the labyrinth in prayerful silence
listening to what God may be saying or

directing one to during the journey.
It is an outward visible act of faith

for one seeking an inward presence of God.

Dearest Friends,

On Sunday we went to,

Mystic Trace,

A Retreat Center snuggled into the rolling hills of

our Beautiful Ozarks.

While there we dedicated

A Prayer Labyrinth

Mark had helped with the construction

of the Labyrinth with both labor and prayers.

After the dedication we

were invited to walk the labyrinth in

in prayerful solitude & silence.

Before this day,

I did not know very much about Labyrinths.

Now...

after hearing an explanation about it,

seein it up close, and hearing testimony from

labyrinth prayers,

I am very intrigued.

I chose to walk the labyrinth that day.

Mainly because I never

want to miss an

opportunity to draw closer to God.

The trail leading to the Labyrinth, my mother is in the red polo shirt!

The walking around the intricate webbed walk ways

in deliberate prayer, I communed with God

over all the things that have happened recently as well

as the prayer needs for my small group,

Small Town's Young Life,

and for the needs and safety of others in my life.

Through slow, thoughtful, prayerful meditation,

I prayerfully shared with, thanked, and prayed with God

over all that is going on in my life.

The prayer Labyrinth at Mystic Trace where you are always

welcomed and invited to visit. I will even go with you if you'd like or

you can always go in spirit!

I left the Labyrinth filled with Peace, Gratitude, Hope
and Re-Newed Vision and strength.

It was just what I have been needing.

Who Knew? God Did!

May your walks this week

bring you closer than ever before

to our Loving, creating, and Creative God.
