In whatever way we do…
And with whatever words we use…
We bind our prayers together…
And push those wild whispers of faith out towards each other and out into the world entrusted now to our care and keeping;
Believing that our prayers matter and make a difference.
That we can, in fact, add our gratitude the gratitude of another.
And our joy to the joy of another.
And lend our strength and support and concern and hope to those who find themselves in need.
And, so we pray, O God…
For all those for whom this day life is difficult and filled with more darkness than light and more uncertainty than clarity.
And, we do pause long enough this day to say Thank you.
Thank you for the gift of this day.
Thank you for those communities of faith which touch and enrich our lives and the lives of so many others.
Thank you the daily grace which brushes up against our lives often catching us off guard and unaware.
And, this, too, O God…
May our lives follow where our prayers first lead.
Amen.
