Prayer

Holy One who for six days sang creation into being.
Still crafting God, who continues to call forth life within us and around us.

We offer to you the work of our hands.
Whether we paint, make pottery, write words, balance spreed sheets, hold onto someone who needs to know he is not alone;
May our hands be guided by Your hands.

We offer to you the work of our minds.
Whether we solve problems, listen deeply seeking understanding, dream dreams, lead meetings, participate fully;
May our minds seek and be stirred by Your mind.

We offer to you the work of our hearts.
Whether we delight in seeing patterns, coming up with poems, making connections, caring for all of creation;
May our hearts be in tune with the song You sing to all creation.

We offer to you our whole lives.
From the top of heads to the tips of our toes,
We long to be caught up in the symphony of life.

When we are out of tune or off beat,
Help bring us back noticing the traces of Your grace swirling around us.

When we struggle to find the rhythm,
Help bring us back to the heartbeat that is Your holy drum in each of us.

When we long for more,
Open us to where You would have us go.

When we are confused,
Grant us clarity for the next step.

Bless us to be a blessing.
Let the traces of Your grace be felt and shared deeply with us, through us, and for the sake of the world you so love!

Blessings~~
