His Day

As we prepare to start the season of Lent, I thought I'd share a prayer/poem that came to me in my sleep.  It really is all about Him, you know...

Your Day

Almighty God:

Thank You for Your sunrise; in it, I find:

   -Your glory calling me into a new day,

   -The promise of a chance to do what I should do,

   -The hope of things not yet seen,

   -A blank canvas on which I can paint praise to You.

Thank You for Your daylight; in it, I find:

   -Your presence and glory in all things, if only I will look,

   -Your hand guiding me, if only I will take it,

   -Your voice teaching me, if only I will listen,

   -Your people, needing and providing help, if only I will join them.

Thank You for Your sunset; in it, I find:

   -The stunning beauty that only You can create,

   -A chance to reflect on and learn from the day now behind me,

   -Proof that endings can be as miraculous as beginnings,

   -No dread or fear of the coming night, because You are with me.

 All day, I find reasons to always give thanks to You for Your great glory and for all things.

In Jesus’ holy name,

Amen
