Saturday Prayer: Weathering change

Holy One
When I feel cut off,
Held back,
Ripe for cutting,
And limited by my circumstances…
May I remember always
That my roots
Are in you,
That my harvest
Is from you,
That you shelter and shade me
And prepare me
For whatever is next.
I feel your presence;
I trust your guidance;
I bask in your goodness
In good times and bad.
Thank you,
Forest Watcher,
Heart Lifter,
Soul Tender,
Mighty Wind,
Tree Feller…
For Calling me to this work.
Blessed be.
Amen.
