Come, Lord Jesus
A prayerful poetic reflection as the new year begins.
I was inspired with a different type of reflection the other day and thought I would share it. I pray that it blesses you in the Holy Spirit.
It was 60° F on New Year’s Day in Virginia.
We went for a walk in the sun.
A week before, on Christmas Eve, it was 1° F.
The pipes froze.
On the last day of the year, Pope Benedict XVI passed away.
The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.1
A prisoner of hope.2
Jesus, I trust in you, my stronghold.
You keep me in perfect peace, because my mind is stayed on you.3
The universe is upheld by your word of power.4
Come, Lord Jesus.5
