A PRAYER FOR<br />
Strong Faith<br />
May you find the beauty of Mother Earth fills your spirit<br />
and your life to strengthen your prayer and your work.<br />
May you find a stillness in the running water that<br />
cleanses you and quenches your thirst. May the<br />
land and its bounty connect your feet and your spirit<br />
to give you food for your journey.<br />
May your dreaming find you in a liminal space where<br />
you draw strength and inspiration from the past<br />
to go forward courageously, to co-create the future.<br />
May you experience the gentleness of the Father’s<br />
love that touches the land, touches the wild things and<br />
touches you. May you find strength in allowing the Holy<br />
Spirit to guide you,<br />
And may your connectedness to the land and your trust<br />
in the Lord strengthen the bedrock of your faith so that<br />
He may build His House in you.<br />
Amen.<br />
