God of Peace and Mercy
God of Wisdom and Grace
We acknowledge you who hold all things and are in all things.
Thank you for the ways you reveal your glory to us and around us.
The stillness of the summer air in June
The watchful eye of a hawk in the morning
The love in households where people are preparing for
the day;
The silence in places where nature is the companion.
Rush in, Holy Spirit.
Rush in Great Redeemer.
Rush in to change the conversations among families and friends,
work teams and leaders,
strangers on the street and whomever is in our path.
We welcome you, Holy God, to turn our attentions where
they need to be
so that we can see your mighty hand at work.
We know and trust, Holy God, that you are indeed present and acting
right
now.
Mold us into what we do not know
Transform us bit by bit or all at once;
we need you.
We trust you completely so we yield
all of ourselves…
to you.
Thank you, Lord, for your steady faithfulness
and for not giving up on any of us.
We love you. Amen.
The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn,
shining ever brighter til the full light of day.
But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness;
they do not know what makes them stumble.
– Proverbs 4:18-19
Life in the Deep End
