Abandon yourself to the Beloved, draw closer and closer to Love.
For when you dwell in peace within Loe’s heart,
and know the Divine Spirit in your own heart,
You become as nothing, yet all things are yours.
As you radiate the healing love of your inmost Being
into a suffering, scarred, yet ever-sacred world,
Offer grateful praise from the Chalice of your heart
to the One who loves through you.
Great peace have those who co-create with You,
who share the living win of your Spirit.
They know that all goodness comes from your Divine Love,
the Source and Foundation of all life.
Fill us, O Gracious One, with your loving wisdom,
guide all hearts on paths of peace.
Nan C. Merrill Psalms for Praying
Reflection:
This section starts with complaint but moves onto commitment to God’s law, a sense of peace despite persecution, hope, joy, and praise. The psalmist finds peace in God’s presence despite being persecuted. She has hope that God will save her. She praises God several times a day; her life centered in God’s law. Her joy is found in God’s love and in knowing that she is co-creator of a more loving world.
