Prayers for the Ordinary

 

Today, I invite you to pause, breathe and be.

 

~ Breathe in on this last day of June ~ all that this month has held for you …breathe out all that is unresolved and unsolvable right now in your life and our world.

~ Breathe in your earnest efforts to be caught up in the symphony of God …breathe out the moments of frustration that things don’t always happen the way you wish or on the timetables you’ve established in your plans.

~ Breathe in a grace and love that YOU are enough …breathe out all the chattery chaos that offers unhelpful color commentary of the places you’ve bumbled and stumbled.

~ Breathe in the holiness of this new day God has made …breathe out those thoughts and feelings that you hoard in your heart, that nagging negativity that you keep rummaging and ruminating upon.

~ Breathe in a promise and presence of the Eternal…breathe out the striving and struggle and stress right now.

~ Breathe in a holy love that will never let you go…breathe out offering every moment to God, giving God back your whole life.

~ Breathe in the unknown-ness of this day…breathe out the plotting and planning.

 

~ Breathe and be.

 

~ Be in this moment with the One who is Presence. 

 

May you be know peace; may you know hope; may you know love; and may you come to the sense of the sacred with every breath you take today.  Amen.
