I love watching the beginning the day, O God of all Creation, as it moves from darkness to light.  The sounds and colors change from stillness to bustling.  Help us in our own transitions from calm to the rigors of the day to live in that in between time, if only for a moment, cherishingContinue reading “Prayer for April 19, 2026”
