God can and does use everything to communicate–even my dreams.
My Prayer:
God of Everything, Help me to perceive more of what you are communicating.
Scriptural Touchstone:
Having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, the wise men from the East left for their own country by another road. Matthew 2:12 (NRSV)
Invitation to Prayer:
Are you open to allowing God to lead you, even if it involves a change? What prayers are emerging in your body, mind, heart, and imagination? Pray them now.
Photos:
