May we respond to those times where you put us in the right place at the right time to show our love for one another, Loving God.

On this day, what became the largest library in the world (Library of Congress) was founded, O God. May we always collect and make available the diversity of knowledge, historical understanding and thought. We gain so much by taking the time to know how others think and perceive the world. May we never lose theContinue reading “Prayer for April 24, 2023”

As we journey with you, O God, help us to see the infinite possibilities that you have set before us. May we know that there is not one single path to the place you intend for us but one with many forks in the road where we may wander in a direction we neither expectedContinue reading “Prayer for April 22, 2023”

The past few days have been a whirlwind, O God, and I have been praying via my actions and not putting them down in words.  Help us when we get into those times where it feels like we are going from one thing to another so rapidly to find a couple minutes to slow downContinue reading “Prayer for April 21, 2023”

As the Easter season continues, may we continue to celebrate the wonder of the gift you gave, O Christ. Let us relish in the gift of redemption and forgiveness.

Today is a later in the day prayer, O God. Thank you. For the day you have given us so far. It was nice to not have any rain (so far) and watching the tide move toward its normal levels again. There are many who are still recovering from the rains here and I askContinue reading “Prayer for April 15, 2023”

May parents of small children feel your presence, O God. There are many sleepless nights for them especially when they are so young that the children cannot care for themselves.

Thank you God, for the people who take in those in need. Whether it be the people who work with the hungry, those temporarily in emergencies, the homeless, or even those that take in stray animals; welcoming the stranger in our midst takes a certain person. That gift of hospitality and openness is one thatContinue reading “Prayer for April 12, 2023”
