The Well of Salvation

Isaiah 12:1-5

You will say in that day: I will give thanks to you, O LORD, for though you were angry with me, your anger turned away, and you comforted me. Surely God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid, for the LORD GOD is my strength and my might; he has become my salvation.
With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. And you will say in that day: "Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known his deeds among the nations; proclaim that his name is exalted.
Sing praises to the LORD, for he has done gloriously; let this be known in all the earth."

Lord,
I have come to you
to draw from the wells of salvation.
You are the well of living waters
overflowing
gushing forth
bubbling spring
constant and consistent cataract of clear cool water.

I knew too well
what happens
when I try to go
on my own strength --
I run out,
I run dry,
I burn out,
I crash...

Today I turn to you:
Lord,
Be my strength.
Be my might.
Be my salvation.

I join with the voice of the prophet
and generations after him saying:
"Give thanks to the Lord,
call on his name;
make known his deeds among the nations;
proclaim that his name is exalted.
Sing praise to the Lord,
for he has done gloriously;
let this be known in all the earth."

Let this be today!
Amen.
