MorningPrayer

Dear God,    The stones of space surround our life; polished orbs of silvan granite, speckled blue sky dotted with black holes,  roses blooming pink and white in frozen spirals, tiny eyes sparkling in the tears of time. We gather our community of people, events and things, much like the stones of time.  Such variety, texture and beauty. Thank you God for giving us diversity, each and every sound of silence unique in its own special way. The Kingdom is a treasure chest, AMEN

Dear God,     The gray skies have settled over us like a wet linen cloth.  We shield ourselves seeking comfort and warmth but we  need further assistance.  May we seek refuge under the shelter of your wing.  May your angels sing  harmony to our melody and beat the cadence of joy and peace. May the skies melt away and the heavens rejoice in their brilliance and love. In the warmth of your presence, we feel your compassion and know of your grace. In Jesus name, we pray. AMEN

Dear God,       When we are tired and weary, let us rest ourselves in you. Not just sleep but rest in the nest of your love and the shelter of your wing. Let peace then flow over us like a gentle fall breeze and the warmth of your protection radiate into our bones and heal our heart. There is no tomorrow in this space, the time and place of wholeness is complete unto itself and we are healed and made well. In Jesus mercy and grace, let it be. AMEN

Lord Jesus,     Our hands tingle in the flow of morning light, filtered by the prism of Holiness and spilling through our fingers in rainbows and dancing angels. There is no containing Glory and Awe.  We sit quietly in a circle of color, the palm of your hand holding us gently; we are safe through the day's light and into the darkness.  There is no beginning nor ending, you have captured both in the depth of your eyes, eternity is love-filled grace. AMEN

Dear God,    In the ever changing wardrobe  of life, we seek transformation of our spirit so we might soar to new heights.  Help us to shed our old cloak, it is worn and is a burden to us.  Place around us the shawl of prayer-- of infinite mercy and grace. Keep us warm in your loving spirit and breathe the new breath of eternity into our souls. May we then, go in peace, tranquility surround us and and flow through us. AMEN

Gentle Loving God,   Hold us carefully and tenderly, for we are vulnerable. In your spirit hold us with brilliance and power, for we are strong, resilient and filled with instincts for life. We are being made in your image, and we find love expressing itself in grand and eloquent ways. If we are weak, it is because we are being cleansed and we are being healed so we might offer the gift of meaning to life. In all ways, we open ourselves to your compassionate touch and our tears and pain we give to you. AMEN

Holy Lord,     Sometimes our souls are weary and we need to be carried on the gentle currents of your grace. We need healing, God, the immersing touch of the Spirit that soothes, releasing pain.  We might even close our eyes to the light of day and drift quietly in the arms of your love. Embrace us in holiness and keep us safe, Lord.  We are yours. May our mission of being, be found in your presence and wisdom. AMEN
