Romans 8: 35-39 (NIV-UK)

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written:

‘For your sake we face death all day long;
    we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.’

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I have switched on my computer, opened the file I have been working on, and I am trying to marshal my thoughts into some kind of order — and type the resulting words in some sort of readable and relatable fashion.

So I am making my connection with you, dear readers.

I hope.

There is still the connection to make at your end, and that is beyond me.

We experience plenty disconnection in our digital dealings – outages, freezing screens, wrong key pressed, files misfiled.

Analogies can only take us so far.

Connecting to God in prayer and in our lives is not dependent on electricity supplies, or cables or accuracy in typing, or any agency of ours.

God is there.

Always.

The line is always open.

And now that we are connected, what can disconnect us?

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

Keep watch.

Take heart.

“O Lord, show us your way. Guide us in your truth.

Wait for the Lord, his day is near.

Wait for the Lord, keep watch, take heart.”

(From Taizé, it can be found in Church Hymnary 4, 276)

Prayer:

Loving God,

we are connected, listening, waiting. . .
