Lord, I know I’m privileged and blessed to be in this place, 

to spend this time with you, 

in silence and prayer... 

 

There’s a great calm settling in my soul, 

a peace so deep I know 

that only you could be its source… 

 

I’ve come here to find you

but you were already and you always are

a lodger in my heart...   

 

Though I may wander far and wide, 

though I sometimes forget you 

(or think to myself that you’ve forgotten me) 

there’s never a moment when you’re not by my side, 

present to my every joy and sorrow, 

anointing me with mercy 

and filling me with grace

I neither merit nor deserve...

 

Here, in the stillness, at the ocean’s edge, 

you beat softly on my heart like waves upon the shore, 

massaging sore soul with your gentle, healing hands, 

inviting me to trust you and rest in your embrace...

 

There’s not a day or night, a time or place,

that you're not with me, Lord

so, open wide my heart to you and to your Spirit's wisdom 

ever leading me and guiding me closer to your heart

and to the peace I seek and long for...

Amen.
