Message in a Bottle Prayer

Lord, I feel like I’m lost at sea, surrounded by ever-deepening waters.

I’m not sure which direction to steer my ship,

but I trust that You do.

So I am rolling all of my best intentions,

love for others,

hopes, dreams and desires to save the world,

along with my faith –

into this little prayer scroll.

And I’m letting it go –

sending it like a message in a bottle from my soul to Your throne.

I’m watching it float gently out to the horizon,

and I’ll wait as long as it takes for Your perfect reply,

trusting You will change the winds and the tides

to guide my life forever towards Your Glory.
