Loving God
May I never forget
That this human frame is your creation;
That you desire the best for me,
Even when life seems at its worst;
That your love for me is unfailing,
Whether or not I can make sense of the struggles that surround me.
That you are with me in the storm,
Whether or not you command its waves to be still.
Grant me the peace of knowing
That you are no less my shepherd
When I feel trapped in the valleys of despair
Than when I rest in green pastures
For while feelings and thoughts and experiences
Might be wracked with uncertainty and struggle,
You are unchanging and constant,
Your love will never end,
Your peace will always await.
