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
Monday’s prayer: Sufficient God
God, Sometimes, I ponder that you are the God of enough. Because who else would create humans, and then rest? God, you maintain that we are enough, You maintain that you are God enough for us– We do not need to go chasing big power, or even trying to make everyone believe exactly the same… Read More
Saturday Prayer: Journeying
Holy One, Today I asked for an answer to my prayers… and You gave redirection. I asked for reassurance… and there was silence. I asked for kindness… and my patience was tested. I asked for action… and I practiced waiting. I asked for understanding… and was given Grace upon Grace. And now I rest and… Read More
Friday Prayer
Holy Parent, I give you thanks for the memories, almost 18 years worth. I’m thankful for parent teacher conferences, all those other adults who spent more time with my child than I was able, who taught her more than I could ever know.

Monday Prayer: May 19, 2022.
This prayer is for the hurting kids, Loving God. The ones who never got the care they needed; the ones who cower under blankets, because the broken love of this world feels like utter chaos.

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

God, I’m getting ready for the children’s sermon,and I’ve collected the “icky” animalsfrom around the house,and I can’t seem to find the insects,(which is what extinction may be all about), but I am going for what “unclean” is,so I need a mosquito with the skunk and shark. And I am going to tell their parents… Read More

For every feathered thing that sings we give you praise, For every green and living thing we are thankful.

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.
