Pause for Prayer: THURSDAY 2/25

No doubt about it, Lord:

my heart's sometimes a harbor

where bitter thoughts float freely

over waters green with envy,

harsh judgments tied up at the dock... 

 

A cold cove it is, Lord,

craving a warm onshore breeze,

a sea change of your grace...

 

Rescue me, Lord, from this lost lagoon

and unload my heart's hold

of words and wishes stored for spite:

fill me with a cargo of kindness
such as I might seek from others...

 

Sweeten the stale waters I sail:

rise with the sun o'er my soul's bow
and with the dawn's light
cleanse and heal me...

I trust you, Captain of my soul,
and pray you'll sail me safely home:
harbor me in your heart, Lord,
the only port for which my sails are set...

Amen.
