“Keep fresh before me the moments of my high resolve.”
Howard Thurman
Holy One, in these difficult days it is hard to remember that You are all around each of us, deep inside each of us, holding each of us in the palm of Your hand. We are here today, separated by COVID-19. We are drawn together by our love for You and each other. Each of us is struggling with the rapid changes in our country and our world. Help us remember to open our hearts so that we can feel Your compassionate love. Open our hearts so that we can love others more deeply. Open our hearts so that we can pour out Your love onto the whole world.
Help us remember the words of this prophet of old. “ Those who hope in the Divine will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:31
Silent Reflection
Prayers of Petition
We have looked deeply within ourselves. Looking for a way to get through it all. Looking for a way to help others. Listening for Your voice. Help us hear You, each in our own way.
Everyone is suffering right now. Pain, fear, anger, dread, hunger, uncertainty, unrest and violence is washing over our country and the whole world. Help us put taking care of ourselves and loving others first.
Heal those who are sick in mind, body, or spirit today. Our hearts go out to them. Their needs are great!
Like a mother watching her children learning to walk, we know You see us struggle. Remind us that we are like those children. Times will come when we can laugh...run... and play...knowing that You are here... around and within us.
(Another moment of reflection)
Closing Prayer
“ Knowing you are hearing us better than we are speaking, we offer these prayers in all the holy names of God, amen.” Richard Rohr
