Contemplative at Home offers guided meditative prayer – space to slow down and listen to the truth that is being born out of God’s love for you today – drawing on Ignatian spirituality and at times, Lectio Divina.

In Psalm 71;1-6, the Psalmist cries out to the Lord to rescue, to deliver, to save.

I wonder what has you ‘in its grip’ this week – what you need to be saved from just now? Is it a particular fear or anxiety, an unhelpful pattern of thinking or fixation you’ve developed, oppressive circumstances or perhaps something else?

God may not always ‘rescue’ us from difficult decisions or situations and yet our relationship to such things can very much be transformed, delivered. May you know some healing – big or small – as you entrust yourself to the Lord with the Psalmist:

“For you have ben my hope, Sovereign Lord, my confidence since my youth”

Every blessing as you pray.
