Hi Grant! Thanks for sharing your writing with us. Bartimaeus' words here have been my most often used prayer since I read The Way of a Pilgrim way back when I was an undergrad. If you haven't read it, I think you'd enjoy it.
I have a copy of it on my shelf, but have not read it yet! I was definitely thinking of the Jesus prayer in writing this, and that prayer has been an important part of my life as well. Maybe I need to move The Way of a Pilgrim further up on my list!
It is a lovely little book. Let us know your thoughts when you read it. The Jesus Prayer is such a special confession, as you've shared with us in this post! Tender, desperate, personal. I use it for my Act of Contrition during the too-few times I make it to Confession. Hope you're doing well <3
