A prayer for this last Friday of January
2022
Loving-flowing, life-giving, and
life-changing God; in You we find our passion and purpose. In You we find our curiosity and creativity. In You we find possibility and promise and
potential that we can never exhaust or fully explore in our lifetime. Continue to let Your love guide and ground
our lives. Grant us wisdom to let Your
love into our hearts, roam around our lives, and even rearrange our minds. Let Your love be the fuel that feeds our
actions and words. Continue to call and
challenge us to be love in this world. To see moments when we can let loose Your
love with another. Continue to invite us
to be extravagant with love. We pray
that just because we turn the calendar to February, we won’t leave behind the
truths of January 2022. The seeds that
have been sown in the soil of our souls still need time and space to grow, take
root, and before we can begin to harvest right now. Help us tend the seeds of love for You, for
others, and especially for ourselves.
Help us receive Your love, notice how others offer affirmation and
affection, and how holy love permeates and persists within the well of our soul. Take our lives and let them be; part of the
Beloved Community; take this moment and this day; so that Your truth might have
the final say. All this we pray in the
name of the One who embraced and embodied love, showing us the way to be love,
Jesus the Christ. Amen.
