MorningPrayer Sunday

Dear God,
    The morning silence lies quietly on our shoulders like the white misty sky and the fingered trees floating gently upwards, only to disappear without sound.  Our deep breath utters your name and our heart beats in the rhythm of your love. Surround us, O God, and bring us comfort.   In your presence might we find purpose and direction for the day of our being.  In thanks and praise, we pray. AMEN

Help us on our journey O God. Humbly speaking and seeking, we are yours. AMEN

Good morning God,      Today is a sad troubling day for many of us. 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
