There are days, O God, that are somewhat uneventful.  They are not marked with anything memorable other than the reality that we were not challenged by stumbling blocks or some special events that make that day important.  We need those days sometimes.  May we celebrate the days that simply happen.  Allow us to see those days as a sabbathContinue reading “Prayer for June 9, 2021”
