RevGalBlogPals began as a webring, a connected group of bloggers with the shared interest of being or supporting women in ordained ministry. In those pre-Facebook days, we kept up with each other by navigating from one blog to another, carrying on conversations in the comments that sometimes migrated from one person’s page to another.

Sunday Prayer: Unfolding
Holy One, We watch things unfold, day by day, sometimes hour by hour, never really knowing why or when there will be a turn of events or changes in our plans. Unfolding, slowly, gently, melding, You help us in synchronicity with Your Grace. Sometimes we won’t listen. Sometimes we bolt the other way. Always, always,… Read More

O Wise Spirit, Advocate and Guide, Sweet Holy Life, Gather us up and carry us away, Show us and teach us. And remind us again. Hold us and help us. Lift the troubles and all our weariness. Give us a moment with you, Just you, And leave us with your Peace. Know us and embrace… Read More

Sunday Prayer: Still
You have heard our plans, for prime real estate and pretty flowers, for peak performance, and petty victories. Still, You walk beside us. You have heard our hopes, for high grades and hot tickets, for hassle-free travel, and hijinks galore. You walk beside us still. You have heard our laments, for lost sheep and late… 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
Tuesday Prayer
As we enter dimly-lit tunnels today, Holy Sojourner, may we sense you just ahead of us. You see the joy, the pain, the terror, the ecstasy before we experience it. Allow us to know that you travel just a few steps in front to be our guide through the dynamic turns in the road. You… Read More
