Quotes by Kenneth McIntosh (?)

“is what the Life-Giver says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.” —JEREMIAH”
― Kenneth McIntosh, Water from an Ancient Well: Celtic Spirituality for Modern Life: Pilgrimage Study Edition

“Here is a prayer about being Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve: God, I thank you for making my first parents, Adam and Eve, and for making me like them. Thank you that I can be like you—creative and caring. Help me to love all other people and all the creatures you made on this earth. At the same time, I know I can be like Adam and Eve in their shame—selfish and hurtful. When I do that, please forgive me for Jesus’s sake, and help me to get close to you.”
― Kenneth McIntosh, Following Aslan: A Book of Devotions for Children

“The Bible says, “If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you. . . . For he orders his angels to protect you wherever you go” (Psalm 91:9,11). Here is a prayer you can say, speaking to God in the invisible world: God, I do not see you, your Son, or your angels, but I know they exist. I believe you are near me, like the radio waves that I cannot see but that are around me all the time. I know you see me, even when I do not see you; I know you protect me and watch over me, so I can rely on you and not be afraid of the things I do see. Thank you for your angels and your invisible hand of protection.”
