Today’s prayer arrived about week ago. I’ve chosen it for today because I’m resting after a very challenging week.
The dust returns to the ground it came from…
The sicker I become, Lord God,
The closer I will be
To that glad day
When life is done,
And my poor soul,
At last, set free,
Returns to you,
With thanks and praise:
Becoming truly one.
…and the spirit returns to God who gave it (Ecclesiastes 12:7; NIV).
