At the Day Hospice the prayer service starts with a very comforting, reassuring prayer which goes like this: The light of God surrounds me, the love of God enfolds me, the power of God protects me,
the presence of God watches over me. Where I am God is.
A small boy was in distress and his Sunday School teacher told him that no matter where you go God is always with you. There is no place he is not. If you are an astronaut and fly to outer space in a space ship God is with you. If you are an ocean explorer in a submarine on the ocean floor, God is with you.If you are a mountain climber hanging off a sheer drop on the side of a cliff face in Simpsons Gap, God is there. And if you are a small boy in distress, God is there. Every move you make, every breath you take every joy and every sadness, God is there.
Its quite profound when you really stop and reflect that God is so close to you regardless of where you are, no matter what is going on in your life and around you. In his strength we stand, in his love we are enfolded even if its just an ordinary day or a cliff hanger.
Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ,
Anne, servant of the Lord.
