Father we thank you for the gift of this time. Life is a miracle right now. While we are distracted by all the things in our news, the fabric of our world is changing for the better, by your hand, according to your Divine Will. Because we have hope, because we have faith, we stand by the river of your ever-presence, Father, and we can weather any storm. Because you are telling us, that this storm, is actually a rebirth. “You lift me up to the wind and cause me to ride; And You dissolve me in a storm. (Job 30)

In order to go through a process of rebirth, we have to exfoliate layers of old stuff that we don’t need, and are blocking us from true growth. And we know that can be shocking and startling. We realize, Father, that we don’t always have to have a strong reaction to situations that trigger us. If we can stay calm and muster the kind of higher thinking that comes from our heart, we work with what those triggers are bringing up in us, notice those thoughts and feelings, and call you and your healing Angels in, Father, to carry us through the process of redemption, rebirth and renewal. We know there is always hidden wisdom to gain when we choose to walk the higher road with you, Father. “I would hasten to my place of refuge from the stormy wind and tempest.” (Psalm 55)

We ask for blessings of heartfelt wisdom to sustain us, for your light to be our sustenance, for the steady guidance of your gentle hand through the storm right now, Father. May we reach inside to where you reside within us, because we are now going beyond our mind and connecting directly with you Father, and know you will never leave us, nor forsake us. You are our Light and our comforter, and we are your light-bearers in an ever-changing world.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen
