A SABBATH PRAYER

The tinsel river coruscated with light from the sun an hour before our planet’s rotation turned the veil of the horizon over its lustrous, yellow face.  The glittering water rippled with such luminance that I imagined it to be all of the reality we humans will ever know glistering within a river, an ocean, a planet, and space that for all its infinity is a mere molecule moving and abiding in God. 

So may the Lord grant you rest.

May the Lord bless your mind with clarity and wisdom.

May the Lord bless your body with spiritual strength that fortifies you when your physical strength falters.

May the Lord love you and may you know you are loved.

May the Lord accept you and may you know you are accepted.

May the Lord’s rest wash over you like cool glittering waters.

Bless the Lord for God is good. 

Bless the Creator for the creation is good.

Bless the Lord forever.

Blessings…
