Lord, sunshine, cotton candy, joy and happiness are not always the paths of life. There are also those moments of shadows, sorrow, grief and indecision. Regardless of the path which my journey may be taking in these moments may I be reminded of your presence and words:
• Be still,
• Slow down,
• Listen,
• Peace Be Still,
• You are not alone,
• I am with you,
• Come to me,
• Joy comes in the morning
As the Shepherd, protect, look out over me and provide for me;

As the Light of the World illumine my path and bring guidance to my heart;

As the Comforter envelop me in your arms and warm my heart;

As the Physician reach out to touch my mind, body and spirit bringing wholeness and healing.

In all moments of life bring your peace, calmness, serenity and trust. Amen.
