#Intimacy In Prayer

[maesonc-artistic-adventures]

“Curse you. I’ve spent every day of my life dedicated to praying! Please just tell me! What is it? What’s Wrong With Me?!”

You broke her, so I lift her in prayer.

Schwartz: Absolutely. For instance, the word intimacy, even in the most radical psychology, doesn’t mean the same thing in the context of the self-care process. Generally speaking, intimacy tends to refer to sharing something personal — perhaps in a felt way, but primarily through information. Intimacy in the context of self-care means opening energetically to another human being — not knowing them as anything other than a radiant mystery.

For me, the greatest fulfillment in doing what I do arises from experiencing another person as a great opening, a huge space. We sit together with the eyes closed and I can feel who they are. This body only appears to be an enclosure. It is actually a passageway — like an entry to a cave or a cathedral. It is quite the opposite of the way we’ve been taught to perceive it.

Serenity Prayer

Send me a slow news day,

a quiet, subdued day,

in which nothing much happens of note,

save for the passing of time,

the consumption of wine,

and a re-run of Murder, She Wrote.

Grant me a no news day,

a spare-me-your-views day,

in which nothing much happens at all,

except a few hours together

some regional weather,

a day we can barely recall.

Let us seek to cultivate a spirit of humility and obedience, not as a burden, but as a joyful surrender to a love that is greater and more profound than we can imagine. This surrender is not about diminishing our worth but about recognizing the immense value of aligning our will with a more pure purpose. It's in this sacred alignment that we find true freedom, peace, and the strength to be the luminous woman we are meant to be.

In the tender embrace of love's light, as a wife to be seen as the joyously chosen is to bask in the warmth of a gaze that speaks volumes of adoration. It is to stand hand in hand with one's celebrated partner, hearts beating in a harmonious rhythm of mutual choice and profound affection. This connection, woven from the threads of shared laughter, of openness and flesh and f#cking, of whispered promises, transcends the ordinary, lifting both souls into a realm where every glance, every touch, every memory shared over the years to come is a testament to a deeper bond. In this dance of love, being joyously chosen each day is to be enveloped in an embrace that cherishes, a look that loves, and a commitment that celebrates the beauty of being together, not just in moments of grandeur, but in the quiet, breathtaking simplicity of everyday love and playfulness.

In every step, may we remember that our actions, thoughts, and prayers are a testament to our commitment to our promises and vows reflected in commitment to change ourselves to be the best wife we can become. To be that light in our husbands heart. Let us be models of grace, embodying the depths of passion, kindness, and intimate desire, as we navigate the complexities of life with a heart anchored in passion and perseverance. Together, as women willingly becoming vulnerable, we can inspire and uplift each other, striving towards a community of love, respect, and spiritual integrity."

That is always the purpose of this blog to share the gift of a wife’s love for her husband. It will always be both intimate and informative. Real and personal.

The wife's submission in the sanctity of marriage is not a matter of superior versus inferior; rather, it is self- imposed as a matter of caring obedience to the truth of love for her husband.

Love is a prayer, and prayer is love. To love someone deeply is to carry them in your prayers. Every heartfelt prayer is a silent expression of love, a quiet plea for their peace, their joy, their protection. Whoever truly loves you, prays for you. And whoever prays for you has already wrapped you in the softest folds of their love.

Be praying for me, y’all. It’s been a rough week. Basically the job I was hoping would let me be in Korea long term said I wasn’t ready for it yet and a lot of the stuff they brought up are either anxiety things (I’m working on it), ADHD things (again, working on it, but this one’s a bit more permanent), and some personal life choices and interpretations that flow from those things (which I’m not backing down on thank you).

I’ve locked onto a Halsey song and been having it stuck in my head and that is Not A Good Sign Mental Health Wise.

I don't really... get asking saints to intercede on your behalf.

Like I get the "it's not idol worship" aspect of it, you're just asking someone to pray for you and that someone just so happens to be dead. I get that part.

What I don't get is: Why ask a saint to ask God something when you can just as easily ask God yourself? He's a busy dude, sure, but He's not that busy. He doesn't need a Holy Reception Desk where you fill out a form and turn it in to the appropriate Holy Secretary and they'll send it on up and you can expect a response in the next one-to-ten business days. You can just... Show up. It's fine, people do it all the time.

I pray for love and a boyfriend like him:

Love is a prayer, and prayer is love. To love someone deeply is to carry them in your prayers. Every heartfelt prayer is a silent expression of love, a quiet plea for their peace, their joy, their protection. Whoever truly loves you, prays for you. And whoever prays for you has already wrapped you in the softest folds of their love.

"So where has he gone?" Gelis asked. "There are several possible places," Nicholas said, "if my prayers have been answered. But he may be somewhere else, and quite happy, bathed in a saintly light and enjoying intimacy with God."

The Secret Conversation of the Soul

Life Lessons Learned There is something beautiful and quietly revolutionary about the way Brother Lawrence lived his life. Here was a man with no titles, no theological degrees, and no claim to spiritual greatness in the eyes of the world. Yet his reflections on practicing the presence of God have endured for centuries. Why? Because they speak to a longing many of us have but don’t always know…
