Friday Prayer

 


God who finds us where we are, help us amid the clutter of our lives.  The color commentary and chatter of our minds can be like a needle stuck on a record player; the emotional heft of life can leave us weary; the states of our souls don’t often feel “well”.  Then, there are moments we feel a surge and swirl of life.  Smiles cross our faces, laughter escapes, and we are connected to another living soul.  This could be the squirrel scurrying across our yard, the shade of the tree, or the glimmer/glint of a friend’s eyes at lunch.  Thank you, Holy One, for emotional awareness and agility.  Thank you for times we dive and dwell with how it is with our souls.  Thank you for moments to pause, name, and notice what is really going on within us and around us.  Help us this day to continue to find ways to give voice to the diverse and distinctive ways You evoke emotions within.  For the hymns of Psalmist who teach and tell us that all emotions are holy and can be prayerfully sung to You.  Amen.
