A Fresh Break In

O Lord, our God, you have called us to be your people and to bring honor and glory to your name. We confess today, that we have tried to figure things out on our own and have failed. We relied on our intellect and education and still insight alludes us. We counseled with friends who have wrestled with similar struggles to no avail. We sat with those who have specialized knowledge but new issues arise and the mystery deepens.

O Lord, Our God, we need your Holy Spirit to break into our lives afresh. Fill us with your truth and ”… grant us wisdom for the facing of this hour.” Give us renewed strength to deal with the multitude of issues we face in this world. Empower us with your power that meets our weakness with a power not our own. In Jesus name, lead us through the moments of this day anticipating the joy that will be ours when we experience your grace, Amen.

Fill Us!

Find a quiet space.
Be still and know God.
Open now the essence of your being to God just as a Morning Glory opens to the sun/Son.
Let us prayer together:

Loving God, we give you praise and thanksgiving for how you have created us, kept us and sustained us. Our desire and goal today is to know more of your love in our lives that we might be more loving towards you and others. Fill us now with your love, mercy and power that we might represent you, your love, acceptance, compassion and understanding in the world. Make us truly yours. In the Name of Christ who loved us so much that he sacrificed himself for us, we pray. Amen.
