Sunday Prayer

As the sun rises over the mountain ridge,
I open my eyes to see, my mind to new
understanding, my ears to hear your voice
in the early morning breeze. But not my
mouth, Lord, because sometimes the sound
of my own voice drowns out the life flow
from You. So I sit in quiet anticipation.
Holy Spirit speak.

Yes, Lord, I ask for the mercy of forgiveness,
for the abundance of your Sacred Love to
fall upon us, for relief and courage for all
the people caught up in the terrors of fire
and destruction in California, for this nation
as we witness the change of national
leadership tomorrow. Unite us in one mind
so that in concert and cooperation we might
seek, discover, and implement righteousness
for all your creation.

Glory to God in the highest; peace on this earth
and throughout all creation, in the spirit of the
one we know as Jesus Christ, Lord of all. Amen
