Prayer for Memorial Day Weekend
“Monday, May 30, 1955
Memorial Day
“THE LIGHT OF GOD SURROUNDS YOU; THE LOVE OF GOD INFOLDS YOU; THE POWER OF GOD PROTECTS YOU; THE PRESENCE OF GOD WATCHES OVER YOU. WHEREVER YOU ARE, GOD IS.
“TODAY LET us think about this prayer for protection, which is used in Silent Unity daily. Let us infold all our dear ones in a thought of love and protection. Let us know that wherever they are God is.
“When we think about the endless, eternal life of God, when we realize that we can never be apart from (divine) Life, that we can never be separated from (divine) Presence, we are set free from sadness because of physical separation from someone we love. We know that we are forever one in spirit with those we love, that in God we are held close, that in God we are kept safe and secure.”
The light of God surrounds us;
The love of God infolds us;
The power of God protects us;
The presence of God watches over us.
Wherever we are, God is.
“Whither shall I flee from thy presence?PSALMS 139:7”
