O God of all Creation, you created us with two ears and one mouth.  I was taught by my grandfather that meant I was  supposed to listen twice as much as I spoke.   May I take the time to hear what this day has to offer and not let my need to speak into the silence overtake theContinue reading “Prayer for July 9, 2021”

Loving God, we thank you for the day you have given us.  May we look for ways to share our love for our neighbors as we journey today.  Give us such an awareness of the needs of those around us that we can respond in a way that builds up and supports our neighbors.  May we find waysContinue reading “Prayer for July 8, 2021”

I was fortunate to spend time with a young woman who is at a time where she is trying to find herself as she heads off to college.  She went and had, what for her was significant shortening of her hair, which changed how she saw herself and how we saw her.

Creator God, you have given us the imagination to see and create new things from the world you created for us.  May our creations help others and build upon what you have given us.  Help us to see when we are abusing your creation and change our ways.  Let us become more and more aware of the resultsContinue reading “Prayer for July 6, 2021”

O Lord our God, thank you for this day. May I treat all whom I meet with the love and compassion I desire from others. Give me the strength to meet the challenges before me.

Forgiving God, you remind us what we can have when we are truly repentant.  Help us to be forgiving of those who hurt us expecting that when they repent they are as true in theirs as we are when we repent of our sins to you. May we be strengthened by our willingness to forgive.  Allow usContinue reading “Prayer for July 1, 2021”

O God who reminds us that we are meant to be in relationship with one another, thank you for giving us our families.  We have the family we are born with and they help form us to be ready for the additional family members that we choose and they, in turn form us to be readyContinue reading “Prayer for June 30, 2021”
