This prayer arrived very late last Sunday night, just as I was settling down to sleep. It comes a little closer to describing what I saw and experienced the same morning. If you would like to read that earlier attempt, which is called “Dazzled”, here is a link to it: https://wp.me/p45bCr-eQk.
NB: As I was writing today’s prayer, I realised that when working on the earlier piece mentioned above, I noted down some of the rhymes used in today’s verses. However, at that time I had no idea how they might come to be used.
I create light and darkness (Isaiah 45:7; CEV).
Gold; deep shadow;
Dappled sun and shade –
Though my eyes are closed,
You are arrayed
In light and darkness,
Mercy, love, and grace –
But, when you claim my soul,
I’ll see your face.
They will see his face (Revelation 22:4; NLT).
References
Darkness and light are the same to you (Psalm 139:12; NLT).
There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light (Matthew 17:2; NIV).
Darkness was your robe (Psalm 18:11; CEV).
The dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it (Ecclesiastes 12:7; NIV).
Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity (1 Corinthians 13:12; NLT).
