Deborah's Moment Of Reflection

Carried in Kindness

Lord

There are times
When I feel so alone
When it seems as if,
The sun has stopped shining its light on my life
and constant clouds of worry, sickness or fear come crowding in.

Why is it, in those all too frequent moments of anxiety
It’s so easy for me to forget Your promise of peace?
To remember,
that I …am tenderly carried in the palm of your hand
and held close to your heart

Lord, help me to know
that within all that wearies and worries me
there too I can find you…
As a faithful friend on bleak days
And a sure shelter in times of trouble

May you gently fan the flame of faith in me
So that I will find the courage to put my hand in yours
And walk with quiet certainty through the seasons of my life with you

May I recognise your love and light in those who share my journey and encourage me step by step…

May I have a song of thanks in my heart
Knowing that your loving presence is always with me
To guide and to bless.

Deborah Hollamby
