A sailor's prayer

The Navigator

 

Re-calibrate me, Holy One.

Set the focus of my heart

Against the compass of your love,

Aligning thoughts and deeds

To your divine direction.

Fill the tattered sails of my existence

With your Spirit breath,

Blowing where you will.

Take me to transforming shores

Where shoals await

Your gathering.

And some day,

When the task is done,

Steer me within the haven of your heart.

For Alex
