June Prayer

Monday June 3 2024

I give thanks
For the light of morning
Arriving with possibility
And an invitation to me

I give thanks
For the shape of air
Running through and around me
With life itself

I give thanks
For the colours in the day
Scattered by sunrise
And blessed with sunsets

I give thanks
For you
The imaginer
The creator
The restorer
Who heals my soul
With this gift of creation
And calls me loved
In every breath of sky

In such a place
May I lay down
Before you O God
The bruises and pain
The hurts and the wrongs
And trust the blessedness of creation
Filters and flows
With a grace that redeems
My every offence

And I can pause in such wonder
And hold onto such hope
And fill my soul with such promise:
Your ever-giving gift
And ever-present presence

And give thanks
For the faith I find
In the work of creation
Alive with holy being

Thank you
