Prayer for today
As constant as

as
invariable as the tide’s ebb and flow,
a love
that is more immense than sky
and
utterly dependable,
whether
the skies are clear,
or the
storm clouds threaten.
Undeterred by
surface storms
your
compassion runs deep,
dependable,
inexhaustible,
seeking
to draw all into your infinite love. Amen
