Daily Reprieve

UNLESS the God of my understanding builds my home, it is futility for me to build in isolation.

UNLESS the God of my understanding guards the city of my birth, no security system will keep it safe.

It is futility for me to get up early, go to bed late, and eat the bread of anxious toil, for the God of my understanding gives blessings to me even when I am sleeping.

Behold, my new life is a heritage and a gift from the God of my understanding. Gomu causes the womb of my soul to bring forth a reward. I shall not close the door on it but will learn to pack it all into the stream of life.

Like the precision strikes of a warrior’s arrows, so are the works of the God of my understanding from within me. I am blessed with a full quiver of new life because of my connection with Gomu.

I will not stand in my isolating selfishness, and when I meet my adversaries at the city gate of my mirror, I will not be ashamed.   

Speaking for me, I will look expectantly to You, God of my understanding, and with confidence in You I will keep watch;

I will take this confident expectation with me today and wait for the God of my recovery.

I know that You will hear me.

Do not rejoice over me when I suffer the tragedies of life, O my enemy!

Though I fall, I will rise;

Though I sit in the darkness of distress, the Spirit of Gomu shall be a light for me.

So be it and so say we all.
