MorningPrayer Tuesday

Dear God,
  They tell me there was a huge storm last night. Lightning, thunder, rain. Earth shattering and leaf shaking. Somehow, I missed it. Slept through it. Didn't hear, didn't see, didn't know. Mmm...I wonder what else I miss in life?  What happens around me with other people that I miss or miss-perceive? What happens in the world that I miss, ignore or am indifferent to? Help me, O God, to hear and see and know those things that are important. Help me to not be indifferent  to the faces, events and world around me. Help me to interact and to participate in the world in the manner of Jesus who cared with deep compassion for his world and people. 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
