I’m very much aware of how blessed I am to be able to go away for 8 days and, on the Atlantic shore,spend time with the Lord…
I wish you could all come with me! But since that’s not possible, I invite you to join me in spirit and i prayer. I came across this verse today, Psalm 19:41
Lord, let your love come upon me…
Those words capture what I hope will be my experience while on retreat – and you don’t need to be away on retreat to pray this with me!
Lord, let your love come upon me,
let your love
envelop me
cover me
overshadow me
envelop me
cover me
overshadow me
guide me
fill me
fill me
comfort me
overwhelm me
engulf me
anoint me
overwhelm me
engulf me
anoint me
quiet me
caress me
support me
heal me
flood me
flood me
lead me
still me
hold me
strengthen me
melt me
lift me
challenge me
anoint me
inebriate me
infuse me
inebriate me
infuse me
mold me,
bathe me
surround me
bathe me
surround me
seduce me
grip me
calm me
engage me
embrace me
feed me
touch me…
engage me
embrace me
feed me
touch me…
Let your love come upon me
from above and below
from my left and my right
from behind and before me
from every direction
from inside and out,
Lord, let your love come upon me…
Lord, let your love come upon me…
Protect me, Lord, while I’m awake
and watch over me while I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace…
Away on retreat or at home or at work, God looks upon us with love, always seeking to touch us, fill us, surround us with love. Spend some time tonight and over the days ahead, praying, « Lord, let your love come upon me… »
Cover Me, Lord by Andrew Culverwell
Cover me Lord
with your presence
Cover me Lord
with your righteousness
Cover me Lord
with your Holiness
Lord Jesus
cover me
with your presence
Cover me Lord
with your righteousness
Cover me Lord
with your Holiness
Lord Jesus
cover me
I need your protection from danger and harm
shelter me safe in your strong loving arms
help me to see there’s no cause for alarm,
Lord Jesus, cover me
Under your shadow I won’t be afraid;
cover me, Lord, ’til the storm goes away
then, in the heat of a beautiful day,
Lord Jesus, cover me
