Dear God, Morning in the mountains can be a time of Glory and Awe. We need signs of beauty and moments of hope, right now. We are living in a bleak time, God, of isolation and increasing fear. Financial ruin is a large part of our concern and illness is another. We pray for those who have already lost so much during this virus, and for those who have lost life and loved ones, our hearts are filled with compassion. In the silence of this morning, we pause and pray for our world. We ask for your help, God, and ask forgiveness for our sins. Above all, we need ongoing love and grace. AMEN
Dear God, Sometimes our feet are heavy and our hands tremble and fumble; but help our minds and spirit to soar like an eagle and be free of physical limitations. Sometimes our eyes are blurred and our ears hear only ocean waves; but help our sight to be the inner vision of wisdom and our ears to hear your voice. Sometimes we are tired and strained and stressed; but wash us clean with living water and anoint our heads with the oils of enduring love and grace. Let us be transformed in your spirit, our Living God. AMEN
Dear God, In the snow and ice we peer through floral shrubs at waters calm and castles old. Is this real, this landscape or an illusion of thought and dreams. We wonder, what vision does possess us in the moment of the day... is it imagination, creation, elation or expectation. There must be a balance and harmony of these truths that propel us and move us forward. Otherwise, life is folly and surely in you, that is not the case, O God. AMEN
