Prayer Reflection
(inspired by Psalm
63: 1-8)
Life-maker
–
You
hold my life
and
I long for you to hold it.
You
hold all of Life
and
I am held within it.
My
very soul cries out for you:
In
the morning I linger at the sunrise
eager
for the light to embrace my soul;
At
dusk I crumple in the shadows
restless
for your dawn-light
to
replenish my thirst for you.
May
my eyes be open to your creation-sanctuary,
alive
to the wonders that speak of you
for
this evidence is you constant-promise
and
my soul dances in praise of you.
I
will speak words of thanks
and
live a life of thankfulness
all
the days of my life.
This
is my prayer,
in
word,
in
deed,
through
all of life.
On
this blessing I shall feast and be satisfied
and
my every breath will be a canticle of praise.
May
I waken in the morning singing it
and
let it lull me to sleep as I lie down at night,
your
constant-promise,
your
forever-love,
your
always-presence.
And
I will cling to you,
and
trust your love
that
clings to me,
forever.
