Prayer to the God who Answers

Oh Love

that hears before I speak

that provides before I need:

like sunrise making its way

around the world

until it’s time for me

to be awakened.

Unlike the unjust judge,

You answer from compassion and kindness,

rewarding perseverance and faith

with fullness.

As You do not withhold stars

from the night sky,

nor sun from the day,

neither do You withhold

light  provision  direction  warmth

from Your children,

nor love from the one

who approaches You.

Father of lights,

hold me between sunrise and noontime,

opening Your Word to my spirit,

like doves released

to the heavens,

free to experience the beauty and joy

of this season,

free to anticipate the one to come.

Amen.
