MorningPrayer Thursday

Hagia Sophia with the Blue Mosque in the distance. Istanbul


Dear God,
The history of humanity marches before us, domes and spires, triumphs and failures.
So where do we stand, now,  in this movement of time?
 Where do you stand God?
 What observations can we make, 
what wisdom can you offer to  bring us together
 in  tolerance, acceptance and mutual understanding .
For surely, we in our arrogance and pride have failed in our mission
 to unite the earth
 and to live as a multi-colored, varied species of  beings.
We give our kingdoms to you, God, to resurrect and redeem.
As Jesus did, so might we.
 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
