Hello Joseph,
Nice to be your friend and I wish u A very Happy New Year.
A prayerful benediction
"Surely you have granted him unending blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence." – Psalm 21:6
As a great wave rises from the deep
to wash away the scratches on the sand, come, O God,
to dissolve forever in your sea of peace
my cares, my fears, my worries, and my anxieties.
As the blessed blackness of a quiet night comes
to blanket from my sight the cluttered collection of
billboards, buildings, and power poles
until my eyes see only bright stars,
so come, O God, and blot out this day's dreary
and weary accumulations of daily irritations, hurts, dents,
and disappointments until I see only your goodness
shining in the shadows.
As an explosion of happy sunshine brings a joyful glow
to dark corners, so come, O God, and explode your bright joy
into the gloomy corners of my mind.
As a great victorious general awakens his battalions
with a trumpet blast, and rallies his retreating army
with renewing power, so come, O Lord, and awaken me
to "rise up, be done with lesser things, to give heart,
soul, mind, and strength to serve the King of Kings."
As the spring rain gently, patiently, irresistibly falls
to soften the hard crust of frozen ground until it can receive
fruit-producing seed, O God, may showers of your love
soak in to soften the cold corners of my heart,
allowing creative new life to break forth.
As a happy fountain leaps jubilantly and tumbles joyfully,
come, O Holy Spirit, to transform my melancholy mood
until my heart erupts in joy and happiness.
O Father, make my life a melody like that of a great wave,
a calm night, a morning sun, a spring rain, a happy fountain!
