From the Pastor's Pen

Pastor Sally’s Devotional 5/7

| May 8, 2020

Dear friends,

I have another prayer from the Celtic Daily prayer services to share with you today.

Christ, as a light

illumine and guide me.

Christ, as a shield

overshadow me.

Christ under me;

Christ over me;

Christ beside me

                                                          on my left and my right.

                                                                    This day be within and without me,

                                                                  lowly and meek, yet all-powerful.

                                                                   Be in the heart of each to whom I speak;

                                                                    in the mouth of each who speaks unto me.

                                                                 This day be within and without me,

                                                                lowly and meek, yet all-powerful.

                                                              Christ as a light;

                                                              Christ as a shield;

                                                              Christ beside me

                                                               on my left and my right.

 

I like this prayer because every day I need Christ all around me to be my light and my guide.  Every day I need Christ’s protection, humility and power.  Every day I need Christ to watch my words and I need Christ to guard the words other speak to me because I have a tender heart as I’m sure all of you have as well.

 

I share this prayer and pray it for you and for me this evening.

Blessings,
