Reflections: Prayers for Trust and Glory

Transform my fear into trust, Lord

That I may breathe your peace into every moment

Distill your wisdom in me, Lord

That your Word might illumine my life

Magnify your love in me, Lord

That your light might shine through me

Pouring forth from me, and beyond me

to all your people

Amen

Reflections on Glory

Lift me into your glory, Lord,

Help me to see...

An Avenue of Ash

Changing Seasons

Vivid colors 

Reaching branches

Stretching Skyward

Fall-darkened clouds

Transformed by light

Swirling leaves

Falling earthward

Renewed

The eyes of my mother

Imbued with wisdom

Alight with curiosity

Looking out

Blue as Irish Seas,

Brushed with sadness

Blended joy

Remembered

Lift me into your glory, Lord,

Help me to hear....

Breakers crashing bulkheads,

Holding stormwaters at bay

Waves lapping shorelines'

Symphony 

Sounds of seabirds

Fishers forming

Gliding frothy swells

Calling 

Children laughing 

In eventide

Dishes clanking 

Voices confiding

Love

Lift me into your glory, Lord,

Help me to feel...

Winds caressing

Sun warming 

Upturned faces

Light swirls' closed lids

Transfigured

Husbands moonlit embrace

Gentle, enveloping, comforting

A beating heart

Quiet strength

Beloved
