Daily Prayer - Make me an alphabet of your peace

Good Friday morning, my friends.

 

My sister, Beth, shared this wonderful prayer/poem on Facebook (I guess there is a good use for it!). 

 

Have a wonderful weekend my friends.

 

(If you ever want to be a "Guest Blogger" for this message, I would love to share a prayer you write or discover, and if you are so inclined please include your thoughts on said prayer.)

 

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,

Bruce

 

Help my words.

 

Sometimes black on page

Sometimes sound on stage –

Either way:Let them not

Hack bleeding gashes

Leaving faces in the ashes

And other bad lines of poetry.

  

Let them land like

Soft

Thuds

Of truth in supple minds

Breaking God-craving hearts with

Gentle sharp conviction.

 

Oh Jesus.

Help my words.

  

Let smug words be

Shushed

By the (gulp)

Of pride swallowed.

 

Let love words be

Loud

Like life and hope

Let laugh words dance

Light

Like cappuccino froth and candles

 

Make me an alphabet of your peace.

 

Oh Jesus.

Help my words.

 

'For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.' – Matthew 12:34
