Prayer

Please pray with me: God of grace and glory, You continue to move in our lives every day.  Too often we miss Your presence because we are busy watching the news or scrolling social media.  We can end up pushing, even punishing ourselves with the “shoulds” and “have tos” until we were depleted or deflated or disheartened.  This morning draw near as our next breath.

 

Take a deep breath.

 

For times, we kept pouring out to others, even when we were empty, help us rewrite, edit, this story we are living. 

 

Pause for a moment to consider where God might help you re-write or edit a relationship.

 

For times, we hurt and harmed other…chronically complained or even contaminated their life – either intentionally or unconsciously, empower us to seek forgiveness and reconciliation. 

 

Are there words you spoke this week you’d like to rewind and take back?

 

Help us continue to have a relational diet that both feasts on good and seeks to be the good. 

 

How might you embrace and embody this prayer today?

 

I pray I would share and shine Your love with others in healthy ways today.  Help me continue to be aware and awake to all that I am hearing, consuming, and that which is impacting my heart, mind, and soul ~ so I may be aligned with myself and You to bless others.  Help me stay open to You in this moment and every moment this week.  Guide all of us with a holy love that stirs us to be light, salt, and Your presence in the world.  Alleluia and Amen.
