MorningPrayer Thursday

Hagia Sophia with the Blue Mosque in the distance. Istanbul


Dear God,
The history of humanity marches before us, domes and spires, triumphs and failures.
So where do we stand, now,  in this movement of time?
 Where do you stand God?
 What observations can we make, 
what wisdom can you offer to  bring us together
 in  tolerance, acceptance and mutual understanding .
For surely, we in our arrogance and pride have failed in our mission
 to unite the earth
 and to live as a multi-colored, varied species of  beings.
We give our kingdoms to you, God, to resurrect and redeem.
As Jesus did, so might we.
 AMEN

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