Lord God, Saint Teresa of Jesus reminds us
that prayer is a friendship with You.
Help us make room in our busy lives
for genuine conversation with You.
When our minds wander, or our hearts become restless,
gently draw us back into Your presence.
Teach us that prayer is not simply about finding answers,
but about allowing ourselves to be loved and transformed.
May our friendship with You deepen
until every part of our lives becomes an offering.
Amen.
