Pause for Prayer: SUNDAY 7/6

Lord,

how easily, how quickly, how often

I forget, ignore and even reject the truth
that I'm created in nothing less
than your very image...

In your divine image, Lord,
you created me,
intending for me to reflect and mirror
your beauty and balance, your brilliance...

And on those days, Lord,
when I know and welcome your Spirit's breath, 

claiming and calming my troubled waters;
on those days, Lord,
like Walden's silvered surface
my soul mirrors back

just a shimmer of that beauty 
in whose image I was

carefully, uniquely made...

 

Purify and cleanse me, Lord:
reach into the depths
of my worries and my fears
and give me peace,

your calming peace

'til I am still

with you... 

 

Let your peace, deep within me
give me all I need to mirror 
all the beauty and the brilliance
of the One, in whose image

I've been fashioned,

I've been made...

Amen.
