Summer Stillness - A Prayer by the Rev. Dr. David Long-Higgins
O Love,
Saturate me
With Your summer stillness
Opening deep within
The space unnameable
Formed by You
For Your mystery
Of unfolding love.
Pause me with scents
Scattered by flowers
Coming into bloom
Fed by Your sun and rain.
Fix my gaze
On your gentle motion
Of morning sun rising
And landing on everything
In joyful abandon
Born of Your abundance.
Let me rest in You
Trusting Your promise
Announced by birds
Singing their summer song.
By this of You
May worry be put to rest
And wonder be given space
To rise in worship of You
And all You make possible
In Your grand unfolding
Hinted at and revealed
By flowers and birds
And daily revolutions
Of eternity’s evolution.
Yes, baptize me anew
With this of Your spirit
And Your saturating
Summer stillness…
