MorningPrayer Friday

Dear God,
    Sometimes we are in despair.  We are frustrated, in pain, filled with regrets and ill health.  Our wholeness and wellness has fled and we can't find peace.
We need help, O God. We need the balm of Gilead and a cup that overflows. We need the abundance of your blessing and the countenance of your smile.
Help us, God.  Return to us and hold us in the palm of your hand. We are your child, and we long for your comfort and direction. Let us live forever in your love and grace. 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

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
