Like a butterfly lighting on a flower, like a raindrop clinging to a leaf so I will rest in the Lord my God. In humbled stillness I will release my burdens to Him. In silence I will let go of the conflicts within me; all the voices that pull for control will rest. I become free and focused, ready to worship and praise with this body of believers. Together we blossom and ripen, eager to nourish one another and to send out shoots that will climb higher. Smile down upon this gathering today: we earnestly welcome your life sustaining presence. Amen.
