Creator and Rejuvenating God

Your servants are tired.

They have walked across a desert for you and now they stand

weary

and

sweating

and

cracked

and

dust caked.

Take a balloon, God, one of those big ones with all the colors, and hook it up to some heavenly spicket. Let them stand together and rest. Let them know its okay to stop

running

lifting,

pulling,

tugging,

straining

hurting

twisting

forcing

Let them stand and wait as the balloon swells with your sweet water.

Let them take this moment and close their eyes and tilt their heads back and outstretch their arms.

When the water bursts let it pour down

not in a drizzle

not in a sprinkle

not in a sponge down

not even in a pouring

let it be a deluge

let it be a drenching of your love and presence

May they stand in the center of a waterfall obscured by pour God sized buckets of sweet renovating water.

let them stand firm and feel the washing away of the stress

let every speck of collected dust be wash away

Let this

Pouring

Torrential

Filling

Windstorm

Surging

Inundating

Floodgate

Leave them standing refreshed and ready for what is to come.

Let them shake water from their hair

And feel sweet relief
