Prayer: An Invitation for God to Dwell Within Us – Feb. 11, 2024

February 11, 2024

Mark 9: 2-9

What will we do when we meet God? Will we run away? Cower? Ask questions? Or can we make a tent for God to inhabit and live among us? Melissa Florer-Bixler explores and unpacks the experience of Peter meeting God in the story of the transfiguration of Christ in the Gospel of Mark. Here we see that God not only wants to dwell with us, but also more importantly, within us – into the very blood and breath of our being. Our prayers and willingness of heart can build a special place for God to inhabit our bodies and allow us to experience God’s love in its fullness.
