God of all that is- Can we take baby steps into our world yet? Can we enter spaces where all of your other children work and play? Could you help me discern God? Could you help all of our churches and businesses and all who participate in society know what steps to take to help… Read More
Tuesday Prayer
God of Creation, As the fires mar the landscape of California, may your children discover ways to extinguish this great inferno quickly. Keep our siblings in harm’s way safe. Create avenues of escape for all your living beings. May the winds die down, the rains fall, the heat lessen. Oh how we forget that we… Read More
Tuesday Prayer
God of Renewal, On this first day of the month, as pumpkin spice hits the shelves and the winds blow cooler air, help us find the hope of this month. Undoubtedly, our world is masked and daily life is met with skepticism. What will this month bring? We ask ourselves with fear in our hearts.… Read More
Tuesday Prayer
God of All Emotions, There are friends in our midst who may be feeling this way, and we hold this space for them… Dread shoves joy out of the way, and despair becomes our new companion. Even when the sun shines, it’s like a cloud filters all of the light out of our sight. Hope… Read More

Tuesday Prayer
God of our path- We don’t know what’s coming. We don’t know how this disease will spread or how it will impact our bodies- if we catch it. God of our road- The journey is long. Have we hit the wall on our run? Have we overestimated our energies? May we see this is a… Read More
