I am in this moment of prayer at your invitation

Lord, I am in this moment of prayer at your invitation. Your invitation met a longing of my heart for meaning, significance, and wholeness. I may not have known I searched for you, but I do now. You graciously came to me. You reached out to me, grabbed me, embraced me, and called me. You have done so in the words of a friend, in the words of a sermon, in unexpected moments of insight, in ordinary and extraordinary ways, you have shown yourself and called me to into your service. I am here in this moment of prayer because you have claimed my life. I ask you to stir up the gifts and passions that reside within to fulfill your call. Amen.
