Let the stone be a stone

Dearly Beloved,

Grace and Peace to you.


The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God,
command this stone to become a loaf of bread."
— Luke 4.3


God, deliver me
from the temptation

to refuse to see what is
for what it is,

to make the world
into what it is not,

to expect of myself
power over things beyond me,

to fall for the lie
that I must prove who I am.

God grant me
the grace

to honor the power of Being,
not doing,

to be my self,
not someone's expectation,

to love myself,
not what I can control,

to let the stone
be a stone.



Deep Blessings,
Pastor Steve
