ICEBERG
A blessing based upon Psalm 31
Like the protective wings of a mothering hen
may you always find refuge in the Divine
May your disappointments be few and far between
Like the iceberg calving away from what holds it back
may you be freed, vindicated, from whatever is hindering you
Never cease reaching out to those who will truly listen
The Divine always listens
and therein you will find strength and safety
When you feel like you’ve been caught in a web
and it torments you
because only you are aware of it
Take note of this truth …
The Divine has already rescued your spirit
So, don’t slip into empty, useless spirals of self-doubt
Be bold … be secure in the Divine
Shout, cheer, stand grounded in the Divine’s never-ending loving-kindness for you
Even when you are depressed
when you’ve cried your eyes out
and your sadness is all-consuming and body-numbing
When you feel shame or panic
like your life hasn’t mattered
like everyone is whispering about you behind your back
Even then, don’t stop trusting in the Divine
who holds your now … your future
and enlightens your path
Let this assurance silence all those voices in your head
and provide you with courage to live life boldly
