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, 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, 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
