A Blessing for the Dreams from God

May your God dreams never die.

May the inspired visions,

The deep, God-given knowings,

The Spirit-induced yearnings,

Live in you,

Like imperishable seed

And defy the discomforts

And discouragements

That deign to taunt and take away

What God has put in you.

“Here comes that dreamer” (Genesis 37:19, NIV),

Joseph’s jealous brothers seethed.

The stripped him of his coat, his dignity, his freedom,

But they did not strip him of his dreams.

God’s dreams inside of you

Cannot be stolen

Or silenced

Or sabotaged.

I bless your God dreams

To live and to never let go of you.

May you dream God’s dreams and

May they never die.
