a message of hope

New things take some adjusting and getting used to the rhythm of everything life holds for us. I found this poem in a book called “Sacred Journeys”, it has a message of hope, endurance, and strength. Have a great week and take a minute to relax and do something you love. We would love you to stop by CoffeeLoft.org and say hi, or grab a cup of coffee. Check out our website for activities. www.coffeeloft.org

God of new creating,
who beckons us
to the dance of birthing and sustains us
in our laboring,
here this prayer.

From fear of the unknown
deliver me.
From doubts of my creativity
deliver me.
From ridicule by those around me
deliver me.
From my excuses about my abilities,
my age, my education,
my looks, my status
deliver me.

With your promise of companionship
comfort me.
With your creative spirit
bless me.
With your pledge of sustenance
strengthen me.
With your embrace of all of me
Heal me and set me to motion.
… -Jan L. Rishardson
