Hidden God, whose depths are infinite, Help us shed our outer layers in this silence. Uncover the stranger that is within. Living on the surface, seeing only what is visible, can blind us toward the very thing we need to recognize. Rather than the condemnation we claim upon ourselves and others, guide us to deeper truths though which life emerges. Bring acceptance, clarity and peace up from the sacred chaos. Amen. —Prayer by Janet Salbert

If our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and He knows all things. ~ 1 John 3:20
