Father God
I sit before you, weary
Head full of tasks and bills and worries
Pressed down by practicalities
Come and fill me with your goodness
I come to you in weakness yet I leave in strength

When I changed workplace at the end of 2014, my commute changed from sitting in seemingly-endless Sydney traffic (or standing on a train) to a pleasant drive through mostly rural areas. I was initially struck with how my daily travel changed from looking at cars and breathing in fumes to fresh air and enjoying views over green hills, cows, sheep, goats and horses (and the odd alpaca). As I drove this new route, I noticed a stretch of bush where many bellbirds were calling.
I love bellbirds. While being a little unremarkable to look at, they have a beautiful, crystalline bell-like call that carries clearly over the air. The sound of many bellbirds in the bush calling out on a clear day is something that resonates within me and reminds me of home.

“Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.”
— Psalm 51:10-12
