Prayer Offered for June 10, 2019

As swimmers dare

to lie face to the sky

and water bears them,

as hawks rest upon air

and air sustains them,

so would I learn to attain

freefall, and float

into Creator Spirit’s deep embrace,

knowing no effort earns

that all-surrounding grace.

 (“The Avowal” By Denise Levertov,)

Creator Spirit, teach us to rest in your deep embrace with a lively confidence in your tender compassionate grace. —AMEN.
