dreamflowerI thought I would focus on prayer this week with my Lent posts. This was the opening prayer of our service today:
"Blessed are you, God of our salvation. As we turn to you in prayer, be with us and reveal to us your ways. From your self-revelation in Jesus, teach us how to live in ways that honor you by humbling ourselves; by being content with what we have rather than striving for more; by caring and cooperating, rather than competing in unhealthy ways. Teach us, giver of all goodness, to be strong in your strength for the sake fo the gospel. Help us honor your prodigal grace, by living as doers of peace in this world you love. Amen."
