More of my offerings:

+
Peace of still brown waterhole,
Peace of strong tall coolabah,
Peace of grassy gully bank -
Peace to you
Peace to me
Peace to all.

+
Peace of green in desert barren
Peace of growth in drought so bare
Peace of shade in harshest sunlight -
Our great God who all has made
Lead us by your streams of water, into gullies, brown and wide;
Puddles deep flow into rivers -
God revive us with your love.

+
God of coolibahs, knarled and shady.
God of gullies, brown and still.
God of waterholes, deep and hidden -
May we seek your shade and cool.
May we rest on your green creek-banks,
May we know your peace and love.
May the Trinity enfold us -
God eternal, Three in One.  Amen.

These are my efforts from the day - a wonderful, refreshing time of reflection and worship:

+
May I step into today
with you as Nourisher, Healer, Guiding Light.
May I drink of you, the Triune God:
Sustainer, Friend, Renewing Life.
May I sit with you in peace and hope,
and sip from wells of your great Love.

+
Refreshing Love
who kept me safe all this past night,
bless me now and through today -
Cupful of Creator God
Cupful of the Saviour Son
Cupful of Restoring Spirit -
be with me, all day, as One.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
