Daily Devotion - Tuesday, August 18

Thoughts for Tuesday

A few years ago, Maggie Oman was inspired to serve as the editor for a book entitled Prayers for Healing. The book offers blessings, poems and meditations from people of various faith traditions. It is grouped by seasons of the year and this week we are receiving prayers from the Summer Section of the book. Today’s blessing is from the Pueblo tribe:

“Hold on to what is good, even if it is a handful of earth;
Hold on to what you believe, even if it is a tree that stands by itself;
Hold on to what you must do, even if it is a long way from here;
Hold on to life, even if it is easier to let go;
Hold on to my hand, even if I have gone away from you.”


May your soul be inspired to hold on for this moment… and forever.

Prayer: God, tighten your grip on me and mine on you. Amen.
