You Have Called Me By Name
Yesterday was my birthday and I had a wonderful day. Then I read this prayer and it really resonated with me. My gratefulness to God for my life, health, family - my very existence - knows no bounds. Just wanted to share it:
You Have Called Me by Name Oh, Lord my God.
You called me from the sleep of nothingness merely because in your tremendous love you want to make good and beautiful beings. You have called me by my name in my mother's womb. You have given me breath and light and movement and walked with me every moment of my existence. I am amazed, Lord God of the universe, that you attend to me and, more, cherish me. Create in me the faithfulness that moves you, and I will trust you and yearn for you all my days. Amen.
