Sacred Space-Holder

Blessed are You,
Lord our God,
King of the Universe,
for comforting me,
inviting me to find relief
in this mystery:
You are hidden in me,
and I am hidden in You.

Blessed are You
for holding open
a sacred space
big enough for me—
my loneliness and fear,
tiredness and anger,
sadness and failure—
all of this somehow fits
in Your embrace.

Blessed are You,
Lord our God,
King of the Universe,
for being big enough
and small enough
to hold me.
