MorningPrayer Wednesday

Dear Holy Lord,
    Beneath the frozen sky we huddle in the warmth of the hearth.  We watch the sun fling horizontal shadows across the land, waking bird songs and surprising the cleaning, cat in the window. We wonder if you notice us, God?  Who are we that you are mindful of us? What pleas for mercy and songs of praise do you hear?  Are you indifferent to us, our needs, our loves, our efforts, our being?...
     ...and yet, we have endless hope and eternal spirit.  We have vision and insight to the inner core of meaning.  We are infused with loving hearts and see and create beauty.  We desire harmony and are creatures of deep compassion.
     ...where else does this come from but from you.  Our beings are filled with your presence, O God.  And we live out your breath, heartbeat and vision, here, on earth. AMEN

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

Dear God, The morning mist consumes much of the world in its shroud of unknowing. But revealed is the rock on which I stand and the raft of safety if I venture forth. You, O God, are the rock and the raft, for wherever I go, you are there. For your love and grace is always with us all. AMEN
