Based on “Yggdrasil” by 8baller at stock.XCHANG. O Lord, grant that this night we may sleep in peace. And that in the morning our awakening may also be in peace. May our daytime be cloaked in your peace.
Protect us and inspire us to think and act only out of love.
Keep far from us all evil; may our paths be free from all obstacles from when we go out until we return home.
(Jewish/The Babylonian Talmud)
Ah! This reminds me of one of my favorite psalms — Psalm 121 — which ends:
The LORD will keep you from all harm — he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
Being free from all obstacles would be a wondrous thing today! Thanks for this.
I thought with all the last minute shopping and wrapping and preparing going on a blessing to keep away all obstacles would be eminently useful today.
And it worked for me already! My husband was late in ordering presents for me, and he was already thinking that one of the presents would only arrive next week: and voila! It arrived today.
(Sadly a gift I ordered for my husband at the beginning of December is completely out of stock, and I have no idea if and when I will get it. Oh well. I guess this is a blessing that works only on the household as a whole, and not for every present involved!)
What a stunning photo, wunderschoen !
