Even in my fears of tomorrow:
how bread will come,
my lack and well-being,
your smile is upon me
because you know I will seek you in my time of need.
Even in my waiting:
how hours have come to a halt,
my sense of time wrestles with stillness,
your smile is upon me
because you know I will eventually long for you.
Even in my human intentions:
how my flesh still embarasses me,
my inability to catch up to my zeal,
your smile is upon me
because you know I will find solace in your presence,
my forgiveness,
my rest,
my strength and peace.
I pray that when I look back on this period of time,
I won't see the fears and giants,
the darkness still lurking from within,
the losses and disappointments.
No, I will find a delicate smile
offending my humanity,
piercing my pride.
I will find a rugged cross
beckoning me to still lay my life down.
I will find a brother who goes before me,
who deeply loves me,
who protects me from myself,
who has forgiven me of my sin,
who will never let me go,
who I look up towards heaven for.
My ever present help and love,
I receive your body and your blood today.
Thank you.
