A Blessing for when the World Is Collapsing


When the world around us
is collapsing into the dust
and the moon is falling from the sky,
when warring hearts
and angry minds
lead nations and kings into battle
again and again,

may you not be afraid,
for this is not the end.

When you are harassed
and when you are threatened
be at peace,
for the Lord is with you
and this is not the end.

This is not end
but the beginning,
a new beginning,
another opportunity for us
to bear testimony to love.

When the world is collapsing
and the moon is falling from the sky
may the Lord be near
to give you the words to say;
may you not be afraid,
may you endure
and gain your life in him.

(Luke 21: 5 - 19)
