MirningPrayer Friday

Good Morning God,
   Another day here in the neighborhood.  The children seem happy, school has begun. The gardens are rich in tomatoes. The peach jam is lovely in the jar. Sometimes we seem bubble wrapped in our selves. It is hard not to notice, the pain of loss and illness and suffering of others. It is hard to ignore the hurricanes and drought. It is difficult to pretend that  war has ceased and villages are not in rubble. So, we don't ignore and we don't pretend. With your help, God, we attend to ourselves as best we can and we reach out hands of compassion in our thoughts of love, as best we can. Have mercy on our world. Mercy. 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
