Holy One, here we are
wrapping up another week and winding down another month.
How can it almost be
May? Time sometimes flows like a class-five-rapids
through our lives. We can feel like we
are trying to keep our oar in water as we get drenched and doused with another
wave in the raft of life.
It is hard to enjoy the
ride when we wonder if we are about to slip off the side and slide into the
water. It is hard to sense Your holiness
when we are using all our strength to stay upright.
While the dangers are
real in the world, and the news tells us as much each night, so is Your
grace. While the are reasons to fear,
there is also faith that gives us the strength.
Meet each of us, O God,
in the waters of life. Awaken within
each of us a holy moment of laughter.
Stir within us an experience that causes us to ponder our
expectations. Continue to be with us as
we turn the calendar to a new month. We
pray You will continually invite us to name the gratitudes and do the holy work
of forming a habit of letting Your Easter light into our lives.
May God’s love and
presence be with each of you now more than ever. Amen.
