A blessing prayer I wrote during our Thursday morning prayers last week.

May you find peace
in the pockets of calm
that are sewn
into the fabric
of today’s busy schedule.

May the soft presence
of the Spirit of Christ
be swift to enfold you
and nourish your soul
in the still times of today.

And when you must
take up again
the task of giving
yourself to others,
may Christ’s strength
move you,
and restrain you,
so that you
can be a blessing
to those around you.

(Blair Cameron, 2008)
