Prayer for the Day
A prayer for awareness of God's all-sufficient love
Sometimes it seems our tuneless songs are unleashed into emptiness, An unknowable void where nothing is heard.
Remove from us the fear that we are insufficient and that you are unresponsive.
Instead replace it with the knowledge that all we have is you and one another,
And that is enough.
Alternative Prayer for the Day
A prayer for wisdom
Gracious God, give us wisdom to perceive you, diligence to seek you, patience to wait for you, eyes to behold you, a heart to meditate on you and a life to proclaim you, through the power of the Spirit of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
A prayer for peace in the world
Peace is a rose.
So lovely, so delicate, so fragrant,
so easily crushed.
Holy God, let peace flower in our damaged world.
In parched places, let peace take root,
in broken places, let peace send forth strong shoots,
in barren places, let peace bud and bloom,
that all may see her beauty,
feel her softness,
be overcome by her gentle perfume,
and tend her.
Amen.
