Four Winds - A Prayer

In the four winds, omnipresent God,
Let me feel your presence.
Not in the fierce wind of Job,
But in the gentle wind of new life.
Not in the fierce wind of justice,
But in the gentle wind of mercy.
Not in the fierce wind of righteousness,
But in the gentle wind of grace.
Not in the fierce wind of judgement,
But in the gentle wind of love.
