This passage attributed to St Patrick is a great reminder that God is the source of everything that I am. What matters is my total commitment/relationship to Him, not merely my “thoughts” about Him.

“I bind myself today to the power of God to hold and lead,

his eye to watch, his might to stay, his ear to hearken to my need.

The wisdom of my God to teach, his hand to guide, his shield to ward,

the Word of God to give me speech, His heavenly host to be my guard.”

attributed to St Patrick,  c. 420 

Meg and I loved how this spring, its source unknown to us. brought refreshing beauty to this dry sagebrush of SE Oregon.
