LORD, BE IN ME

PEACEFUL AND RELAXED

Peaceful and relaxed, no strain.
Gentle breathing and calm.
Placid as the glass on the lake.
Deep as the water in the ocean.
The pure air surrounding the earth.
Pure expectation.

Let the Divine Word descend,
peaceful, into this water, this air.
Fill the sky, for that is what
my heart is:
real, peaceful and profound.

Let the Real enter the real,
the deep enter Deep,
and peace absorbed in Peace.
In this union I am enabled
to say a blessing, a fond benediction:
"Blessed are You, my dearest Lord.
Enter and take possession of your
ocean, your air and sky.
Be yourself in them,
relax and have no doubt
about your welcome.
No questions, no complaints,
no petitions today.
Here there are no reservations,
no restrictions,
no hint of overstaying your welcome.
Recline or walk where you will -
this estate is all yours.
So feel free.
Just be Yourself.

Lord, be...
in me.
