If I have not love, Lord, I am a dry and weary place where there is no water for my soul. If I have not love, Lord, I am a stormy sea with no safe harbor for the lost traveler. If I have not love, Lord, I am an angry siren in a world that… Read More
Saturday Prayer: Lift Up Our Hearts
Lift up our hearts, Lord. Lift up our eyes to see your work around us. As day falls to night, help us close the chapters of our days and rest in you. Lift up our hearts, Lord. Lift up our hearts to see the best in those around us, to behold them as creatures of… Read More
Saturday Prayer
Holy One, You created a beautiful world for us. We make it a rough place to grow. We are inhospitable to one another. We seem to agree on very little. We fight over definitions and Calling. We hold up impossible standards in preaching and worship. FORGIVE US. We ignore the weeds of sin that creep… Read More

Saturday Prayer: Holy Silence
Where are you, Lord, in the silence? Where do we find hope in the gap between life and death? In the whirlwind, how can we hear your voice of compassion? In the storm, how can we feel secure? We wait, Holy One. We wait in the shadows of doubt and disbelief. We wait for joy… Read More
Tuesday Prayer: A Long (Holy) Week Prayer
God, Only you know, how long Holy Week is– Only you were human enough to do all the emotions, to go from raising Lazarus… to carry the scent of your perfumed feet to the washing of your own disciples, after you spent precious time having one Last Supper one last fellowship one last night of… Read More
Saturday Prayer: Preparing to Prepare the Way
Holy One, We prepare to “prepare the way of the Lord.” We think we are ready! We have practiced our rejoicing, And have learned to sing “Hosanna!” We are ready… But are we? As our feet travel the days ahead, through this Holy Week, Are our whole selves ready? Have we come to declare Your… Read More
