Wednesday Prayer: June 22, 2022.
God of every season, We are conscious of the lengthening days and slower schedules, of hotter temperatures and vacation plans. This summertime scheme reorients our minds and changes our pace, calling us into sacred spaces through a myriad of paths — picnic days and beachside seasons. So we pray O God for each unique moment… Read More
Wednesday Prayer: June 15, 2022
Pray for us, Holy God. The ones who continue to be overlooked for the handsome, charismatic man who has bypassed the ordination process, but still gets handed the pulpit.

PRAYING WITH THIS HERE FLESH (NOTE: My women’s bible study just finished the book This Here Flesh by Cole Arthur Riley.

Thursday Prayer May 26, 2022 A Blessing for Our Teachers
We need to confess, Holy One, that the world has made profane the sacred calling that is teaching; the sacredness of caring for our children and our futures is dismissed as menial labor, undervalued and sorely underpaid. Redeem us from the world’s thoughtlessness and help us to bless those among us who have answered this… Read More

These are the kids who never got the stability, attachment, and consistency to gain the courage it takes to love.… Read More

We are grieving, Holy God, all of the senseless deaths. Over six million from pandemic alone, and countless more from famine and economic struggle. Unexpected ones — preventable ones — from lack of access to healthcare resources, and let’s not forget the toll of war. Because if anything defines “senseless” it is the acts of… Read More
Sunday Prayer, Seeing Christ May 15, 2022
In the church member who sits alone in the back pew crying silently, May I see the face of Christ. In the stranger who looks lost in my closed and gated community, May I see the face of Christ. In the child who knocks at my door asking me to play when I assume I… Read More

A Prayer for Everyone This one is for the anxious one, the ones who can read every emotion in an overcrowded room and the empathy of every conflict there. God, we pray they find comfort and peace. This one is for the misguided one, the ones who wander far, searching for the long way home.… Read More
Sunday Prayer: Called Wisdom (May 8, 2022)
Mother God, In the scriptures you are called Wisdom, the Sophia of our ancient days. And we call upon that Wisdom again today. For the world continues to dismiss, to diminish, and to debase the Feminine among us. The war against women’s bodies is really a challenge to the Wisdom that comes only from Sophia,… Read More
