Scot McKnight posted a Celtic prayer a while back — he tends to post a prayer each week, and this one in particular resonated at the time. I need it today.
Christ, as a light
illumine and guide me.
Christ, as a shield
overshadow me.
Christ under me;
Christ over me;
Christ beside me on my left and my right.This day be within and without me,
lowly and meek, yet all-powerful.Be in the heart of each to whom I speak;
in the mouth of each who speaks unto me.This day be within and without me,
lowly and meek, yet all-powerful.Christ as a light;
Christ as a shield;
Christ beside me
on my left and my right.Amen.
Brother, I just read your request for prayer and update later on. My prayers are with you today, it sounds like you’re still bruised. I pray that the peace of Jesus will overwhelm you, wash over you like healing waters and keep you safe. Peace and joy this Christmas season.
