morning prayer

Grace Floaties

I take a deep breath

and dive into You

like a refreshing pool

on a hot summer day

and let the worries

wash off me

like dust from my feet.

Before I go back

to the daily grind

I want to lie back

and rest in You,

feeling Your gentle love

lapping rhythmically

like whispering waves.

I breathe in Your freshness,

Your hope.

Your light.

Your peace.

Take away this tightness

of my soul,

this nervousness and fear.

Usher this stress off

to wander in the desert

while I delight

in Your verdant presence,

strength and joy.

I cast my care on You

because You care for me.
