MorningPrayer Wednesday

Dear Lord God,
   Hear our prayer for humanity.  How can we not grieve for our species? How can we not weep for what we do to each other? Why have human  beings failed in the pursuit of peaceful coexistence? Why can we not raise our consciousness to a higher level of loving compassion and pursue justice, tolerance, understanding and peace?  Instead we find solutions in warfare and are led to even higher more aggressive stances of violence. Are we made in your image, O God?  Why then, can we not achieve a higher state of purity?  May you shine in us and give us radiance and gentleness as a mantle of protection. Let us be born again in your divine image of holiness, we pray. AMEN

It is difficult to understand the choice of President that was made.   For the past year we have heard Trump express sentiments that are against everything we value and hold as moral in human relations. That he has been supported in his rhetoric is an indictment of our culture and people.   Do we really believe this, or were we pulled into political ranting and raving. It has been divisive, racist, sexist, mean-spirited and certainly not Christian in its focus and content. It is not the values that Jesus expressed or that the Bible shares of love, forgiveness, compassion and tolerance. I am dismayed and pessimistic about this choice.       It remains to be seen whether he truly means what he has said and will pull our country further down this path.   With your help, God, we ask the Holy Spirit to give us a large dose of wisdom, clarity and kindness.  We need to elevate our values of goodness, acceptance, understandi
