When you come to us in dreams, O God, we feel joy in your presence – our hearts encouraged, our minds clearer, our broken places healed. When you come to us in dreams, O God, we see a world made new – all barriers broken down, all people welcomed in, all conflicts at an end.… Read More
Thursday Prayer
You said to love one another. But I worry sometimes that we forget that you said to love one another, as I have loved you. So, well, okay… Love one another by serving and sharing and all that nice, polite church stuff we’re good at, sure, yes, absolutely. And also, Love one another by calling… Read More
Wednesday Prayer
Thank you for a new day Thank you for time to pray Thank you for the sun that chases the blues away Thank you for seedlings breaking through the soil and the blossoms adding colors to the trees Thank you for the sound of the birds outside my window (not so much the poop on my car)… Read More
Tuesday Prayer
Holy One who abides in my words- In my awkwardness and lovely lack of self-esteem, I second-guess the words which exit my mouth. Anxiety sets my mind on fire, igniting doubts, and the flames of overthinking spread rapidly. Reset my racing mind. Allow me to release the conversation. Relax my heart, and help me find… Read More

Precious One, The scent of the Mock Orange fills my senses Such heady scents, Made by you, for us to enjoy. The rosy dawn, greets the day, Filling my sight, Filling my heart, with love for you. The realities of home seem far away, And yet, in this marvellous world, You have given us the… Read More

Friday Prayer
God- I’m too grouchy and grief-stricken to begin with a longer list of titles and acclamations. You know who You are and what You do. I have a small bone to pick about “a time and season for everything”. Surely, a young mother dying is out of season. Certainly, a late release of cell phone… Read More
Thursday Prayer
I used to think, if they really knew me, (if you really knew me) they’d know I’m a fraud. A mess. A fool. A mean, ugly disaster. But in these years of getting to know you better, and of letting you know me, I’ve found such relief in knowing you know me and love me,… Read More
Wednesday Prayer
Creator God, In a time where some ponder ways to commodify the melting of the ice caps, while others are waist high in devastating waters, their entire lives floating around them Forgive us Stir within us a deep desire to not only change the news channel in frustration and resignation But to find ways to… Read More
