MorningPrayer Tuesday

Laughing Jesus,
     Sometimes we don't feel like laughing but if we think of you as being joyful, it helps our sadness.  Sometimes we get caught up in future fears but if we think of you as enjoying a breeze by the Sea of Galilee and holding a giggling child in your lap, we can focus on the present moment. Sometimes we don't feel like dancing, but if we see you at a wedding, kicking up your heels, then our feet might start moving. Sometimes we are too weary to pray, but if we see you getting up at 4:00 in the morning and going up on a mountain to pray, then we can shut our eyes in thanksgiving and express our needs.  Thank you for showing us the way. 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
