  A Prayer Diary

I have seen the Lord

I Have Seen the Lord
Where the mist rises from the sea
Where the waves creep upon the shore
Where the wrack lifts upon the strand,
            I have seen the Lord.

Where the sun awakens the day
Where the road winds on its way
Where the fields are sweet with hay
           I have seen the Lord.

Where the stars shine in the sky
Where the streets so peaceful lie
Where the darkness is so nigh
          I have seen the Lord.

The Lord is here
The Lord is there
The Lord is everywhere
The lord is high
The lord is low
The Lord is on the path I go.

Healing prayer

3/10/2011

Spirit of the living God present with us now,
Enter you, body, mind and spirit,
And heal you of all that harms you,
In Jesus’ name, Amen

     This prayer is said each Tuesday evening at the Service of Healing at the Abby on the Isle of Iona in Scotland. It is incredibly powerful to hear these four lines repeated over and over again as people go up for the laying on of hands or as names are offered in prayer.
     When I am praying for others, I find this prayer helps me to stay focused and to release my own judgments about the situation. I find it very comforting to pray this for myself. I’ve also repeated it rhythmically while walking a labyrinth.
