God does not always arrive with clarity or certainty. Often, God is already here — unnoticed, unannounced, woven into the ordinary. This three-day plan draws on poems from Unfinished Faith, with each day offering a poem, a reflection, Scripture, and a question to sit with. These days are not about striving or insight. They are about attention. About staying. About learning to notice what is already present. You can return to this plan whenever you need to come back to where you are—and to God, here.
