Dear God of the Universe

Not always, but sometimes, I speak to God in poetry. This is what has been on my heart lately.

Dear God of the Universe

Who knows every part of me

I surrender to You

Because this road before me 

Is not the one I would choose

But I promise to go bravely

If You promise You’ll go too.

 

My greatest fear 

Is I am only a being of whimsy

The smashing of atoms and anonymity

There is no end to this quest

No purpose to the journey

And the road I travel

Is the result of cosmic lottery

 

So please reach down from the heavens

And assure me it isn’t true

Remind me of Your design

And show Your fingerprints

Spanning across my story

Because I promise to go bravely

If You promise You’ll go too.

 

Continuing the adventure, 

Jess
