Prayer Labyrinths
A prayer labyrinth is a series of lanes formulatinga 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
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.
