QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION

What might happen if we used the LORD’s Prayer as more than something we merely repeat every Sunday?

What if we experienced it as a way to reset and reconnect - to intentionally move with the source of life toward all that is good and whole for all of Creation?

What if we used it to connect with and continue the good trouble and good work started by so many so that all may thrive?

What if we used it to ignite our moral imaginations toward healing a wounded world?

MORNING PRAYER

Thank you, God of light, for waking me up this morning. May I live wholly for you this day, that whatever I say and do might help make a path for your coming reign. Open my eyes to your goodness and my heart to your children. I pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.

EVENING PRAYER

Thank you, Lord, for the gift of this day, its challenges and its blessings, its burdens and its delights. Forgive my failures and misdeeds and refine my heart, that I may greet the new day to live more faithfully for you. Amen.
