As you walk the valleys and mountains today, Lord of Life, let me rest in your shadow. I believe that in you there is replenishment for my soul, a new song when the old one has faded into oblivion. In your shadow I can find my joy, discover the equilibrium that energizes me and sets me back to the task of being Christ in the world. Thank you, Caring One, for the events of this dawning day, all of them, for each will test me, train me, temper me for the calling that you have given me…to be yours in both light and darkness. May the hand of Christ guide me as I listen for the sound of his voice. This day, God, sustain the suffering, bring healing to all things that are broken. Holy Spirit, come in the gentle touch of love and in the whirlwind of mercy and justice.
This is the day that the Lord has made…and I shall find life in the shadow cast upon the mountain. I shall find life in my God passing by. Show me the way, Christ, into the Shadow of my salvation. Amen.
