A Prayer for the Blessed Hope
J. Roger McQuistan
Where we would be without the blessed hope of the resurrection?
We would be empty, like the inside of a black hole, with no sight, no sound, nothing!
Death without You is filled with the unknown, the absolute finality of existence, the terror of nothing beyond.
Life without You is like the sky without stars, flowers without fragrance, food without flavor!
Life without You is like a painting without color, a symphony without sound, a landscape without form!
But You are the Rose of Sharon, the bright and Morning Star.
And in You, we find the peace that passes understanding, joy without limits, love beyond compare!
In You beauty abounds even when storm clouds gather!
In You there is light even when the night is dark and the surroundings threatening.
Only in You can we find in the darkest night, a light that is a beacon to sanity and security.
You are the water of life that refreshes even in time of severest draught.
You are the bridge over raging waters that brings us to the quiet shore.
In Your promise of a life to come, we can face the future unafraid.
We can be certain that the heavens belong to us, the stars that shine are signals flashing that all is well in the Universe and our place is assured.
May Your Spirit this day inundate us like a rising flood, consume us like a raging fire, shake us like the quake of the earth beneath us, giving us everything we need that will honor You and prepare us for the day of Your coming.
