The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights. (Habakkuk 3:19)
Transforming God, today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the US and we think of all the changes that have been made within society throughout history. Continue to teach us, to open our eyes and our minds to the limitless world we could live into when all are treated the same. We have come a long way, but we still have a long way to go. Be in us, that we are your instruments for change. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word. (Psalm 119:114)
Limitless God, today is International Day of Acceptance. It’s a day to reflect on what we accept and what we reject. We can think about this in objects, places, people, and more. I pray in the depths of our heart, that we have a general curiosity about those our human hearts want to reject. I pray that your love and hope opens us up to their stories so we can grow further into your divine acceptance of all. God, help us. Teach us. Guide us. Give us courage, strength, and the right words. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. (Proverbs 18:10)
God of Community, today is Bell Let’s Talk Day, where we’ll see lots of posts about mental health struggles, and stories of perseverance. Help us to be more open and honest with ourselves and those we trust, with all our health: mental, physical, and spiritual. May we find people to lean on when things are tough, and may we be a rock for someone who needs our strength. May we continue to learn and grow in our understanding of mental health illnesses as we become stronger together. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace. (Psalm 29:11)
Living God, today is Celebration of Life Day where we honour our children and grandchildren who bring us joy. We give thanks for all our family, whether bonded by blood or kinship, and all they bring to our lives. We thank you for our church community who has become an extension of our families. We pray that everyone feels accepted, welcomed, and appreciated in who they are and what they bring to our lives. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

I can do all this through him who gives me strength. (Philippians 4:13)
Mothering God, today is Maternal Health Awareness Day. We pray for all expecting moms and the care they receive. We pray for their bodies that are carrying little ones, for the health care that surrounds them, and for advocates that help them when questions arise. God, remind us that every body is different, every birth is different, and that times have changed. May we continue to learn and grow with expecting moms and may we be helpful to them in a variety of ways. God be with us. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. (Isaiah 40:29)
Parenting God, we pray for families on Saturdays. On this National Compliment Day, I pray that we take time to offer our little ones (no matter how old they are now), some words of kindness, encouragement, and love. I pray that we can do the same with our life partners, friends, and even our pets. In a world where negativity is the default, may we be the ones to flip the switch and put positivity in that place. For those who are feeling like they just keep getting torn down, may we have the strength and light to lift them up. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being. (Ephesians 3:16)
Ever-Present God, in church today, we baptize a young one and officially welcome a new member to the church. Thank you for the gift and blessing of a growing community. Even when we are given more work to do, keep us hope-filled and remind us that our church is very much alive and looking beyond today and into the future. We pray that who we are and what we do will be present for many generations to come. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
