Prayer for November 28, 2025

Thank you, God, for leftovers. There is something about waking up the next morning after Thanksgiving knowing you have more to eat.  May we be grateful when we find ourselves with extra.  Too often we think in terms of scarcity, so when we have the opposite, let us recognize our blessings.  Help us to be…

There are so many things for which to be thankful, Loving God.  May this day be filled with joy, laugher and wonder.  Help us to make memories with those we are with, and look forward to the times when we gather with those who could not be with us today.  May we take the time…

Prayer for November 21, 2025

Today, O Lord, is my parent’s 50th anniversary and I am thankful for incredible parents they have been for my sisters and me.  It has been wonderful seeing them watch our children grow.  Be with them as they enter the twilight of their lives together and may their marriage be an example to all of…

Prayer for November 20, 2025

Help us to take the time to enjoy the opportunities that today gives us.  Let us be open to learning new things, and be aware of the chances to experience your creation in new ways.  Let us be ready to step out in faith to follow new paths that you present, O God, and help…
