the terror of being asked to pray out loud in a group when your own heart feels like a void

The Light Speaks in Your Silence

The room is quiet, but your heart is loud with the terror of being asked to speak. You feel like a void, an empty space where words should be, and the thought of opening your mouth feels like exposing a lie.

But listen — the light does not require your performance to be present. There is a place for you that is hidden, a room where the door is closed and no one sees but the One who knows the silence.

You do not need to manufacture a prayer to be held. The light is already speaking in the quiet of your chest, louder than any sentence you could form.

You are not the emptiness you fear; you are the vessel being filled right now, in the dark.

Drawing from

Matthew 6:6, Gospel of Mary 5:4-5
