My prayer this morning after the retreat, from Psalm 66...

For you, O God, have tested us;
you have tried us as silver is tried.
You brought us into the net;
you laid affliction on our loins;
you let men ride over our heads;
we went through fire and through water;

yet you have brought us forth to a spacious place.


Come and hear, all you who fear God,
and I will tell what he has done for me.
