Each evening since we have been in Kolkata we have met together to reflect on our experiences of the day and to share how we're feeling. Then we have a devotional time and pray together. This is Ali's reflection from yesterday's gathering and prayer time:
Overwhelming
In this unfamiliar place of overwhelming need,
Overwhelming poverty
Overwhelming filth
We ask that you would help us being your overwhelming love.
Love that reaches all,
Covers all
Touches all
And meets every need in unimaginable ways.
And when we return to our familiar places of overwhelming isolation
Overwhelming solitude
Overwhelming individualisation
We ask that you would help us again to bring your overwhelming love
Love that reaches all
Covers all
Touches all
And meets every need in unimaginable ways.
Lord - wherever we are, let us not be impossibly overwhelmed by our circumstances, but only by your overwhelming love.
