May the Great I AM
Hear You
Deliver You
Protect You
May the Great I AM
Provide for You
Nourish You
Guide You and Lead You
May the Great I AM
Teach You
Train You
Transform You
May the Great I AM
Redeem You
Restore You
Rejoice over You
May the Great I AM
have all of your lives -
all of your faith, hope, and trust,
all of your doubt, anxieties, failures, and shortcomings -
that you may know the Great I AM in ever deeper and fuller ways
because the Great I AM - the triune God - was, is,
and will be for you...forever.
Alleluia.
AMEN
