Inspired by lyrics to “God Is” by Richard Mekdeci, based on the “Prayer for Protection” by James Dillet Freeman:
“In the morning when I rise and before I close my eyes,
Anytime I’m in despair, I just speak this little prayer —
When the cold winds start to blow and they beat upon your door,
Every night will have its dawn, hold this thought as you hold on —
We all hear the Spirit call. It’s a small world after all.
Bound together in and through this one common, simple Truth:
God’s light surrounds us, God’s love enfolds us;
God’s power protects us; The presence of God watches over us;
Wherever we are, GOD IS!”
