Dear God, In the long list of "things to do", may we add, taking a moment and being in silent prayer with you. May we breathe the refreshing breath of gentle presence and peace. And then, God, as we chip away at our list, may we say a prayer of gratitude after each success. May we be centered in the priority of acknowledging your grace and peace. May no task be too small or too large that you are not at the center of our doing and being. AMEN
Dear God, We pray for mother's everywhere. That they will be good nurturers of souls, longing to live and flourish. We pray for them in their successes and failures, for it is a formidable task. We give thanks to those who shared their lives with us, giving the best of themselves so that we might grow in wellness and wholeness. We give thanks to you, O God, for you are like a mother to us and we live in gratitude to your love and grace, AMEN
Lord, Sometimes we talk too much and listen too little. We get in the way of our seeing, hearing and knowing. Perhaps a stranger will enter our lives, today, and we need to see and hear. Perhaps, it will be you in disguise and you need a compassionate look, a kind word, a helping hand. Before we rush away, rush in or rush about we need to be still in the presence of the ordinary and be attentive to the divine. May all space, all things and all people be known as holy. AMEN
