Here’s a prayer I wrote while out on a late evening walk last night. It will again feature in my forthcoming book, Still, Still with Thee.
You keep in perfect peace those whose mind is focused upon you, because they put their trust in you.
Isaiah 26:3
Peace of the setting sun be yours.
Peace of the caressing breeze be yours.
Peace of the rippling wave be yours.
Peace of the serenading blackbird be yours.
Peace of the star-filled night be yours.
Peace of the tranquil stream be yours.
Peace of the restful meadow be yours.
Peace of the gentle dove be yours.
Peace of the serene pond be yours.
Peace of the falling snow be yours.
Peace of the turning leaves be yours.
Peace of the shimmering sea be yours.
Peace of the morning dew be yours.
Peace of the swaying flower be yours.
Peace of the mountain view be yours.
Peace of the refreshing sleep be yours.
Peace of the Holy Spirit be yours.
Peace of the risen Christ be yours.
Peace of our Father in heaven be yours.
Peace,
perfect peace,
be with you,
today,
tomorrow
and every day.
Amen.
