MorningPrayer Friday

Lord God,
   Sometimes our prayers feel selfish; as if it is all about me, me, me. We are sorry for this sin of arrogance, but we do earnestly strive to be better and do better  and to achieve the heights you might vision for us.  We know that we are who and what we are, often for unexplained reasons of genetics, nature, nurture or just plain luck.  But where we have some control and freedom, may you help us to reach for those gifts of the spirit so we might excel in being a person.  May we in our devotion, discipline, dedication and desire see you as the gift-giver and Lord of our life. AMEN

Dear God, In the background of humanities struggle, the world of nature continues to flourish and provide. There is an inherent complexity in the design,  and this complex web continues its flow into our veins and cells,  proving once again that we are part of the ongoing order of life. What part do we play? What should we do to in the competition for survival? We ask to be filed with your Spirit of Holiness that provides us with knowledge, insight and wisdom. Help us on our journey O God. Humbly speaking and seeking, we are yours. AMEN

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

Hey God,      I wondered about the wisdom of getting out of bed today:  If we do, then mistakes could be made, our muscles might get sore, we would use up resources like food and water, we might have to make decisions and face consequences, it sounds like a lot of work and effort...      And then the dog jumped on the bed to go out, the cats started running and clawing, the roosters crowed, the donkey brayed, the sun shone in the window, the phone rang, and...      Well, wish us luck with the day, and stick with us, O.K. AMEN
