A deep breath

Sometimes it's good to read something, take a deep breath, let it touch you deeply.

Today I took a deep breath and let the Ruach spirit of God touch me as I read a blessing. Thanks Magi for the link to Spoken_worsrship where there are lots of deep breaths to be taken.

In the mean time todays deep breath for me was:


May you who are restless
Find rest
And in rest, restoration
And the healing
Of your hollow soul
May peace be yours
-
May you who are frozen
Find freedom
And in freedom the faith
To face the fire
And the thawing
Of your ice-gripped heart
May peace be yours
-
May you who are conflicted
Find convergence
And in convergence
Confidence
To be the one new child
Of your old divided self
May peace be yours
-
May you who live in tension
Find tenderness
And in tenderness the tendency
To kindness
And the creativity
Of a caring character
May peace be yours
-
And you who are Godless
May you find God
And in God,
The grace and growth you need
For fruit and fullness
And the love that will last you
Through the long-haul
Of a lived-for-others life
May peace be yours
