God of words and wisdom that
confound and comfort us, sometimes we feel both puzzled and want to praise at
the same time, thank you for the Sermon on the Mount. Thank you for challenging us to not let the
gospel of the world where ‘might makes right’ be the only truth we cling to and
live from. Thank you for the words that
remind us You hear our prayers, especially when we are frustrated that life isn’t
turning out how we plotted or planned.
Help us, O God, hold life loosely and lightly. Help us find ways to laugh and sing as honest
prayer. Help us listen for You trusting
that Your voice isn’t always heard amid the shouting and strain of the
day. Guide us with Your grace, fill us
with Your love, let our souls be infused and inspired by You. In the name of the One whose sermon stretches
us into Your sacred image. Amen.
