A prayer for July 19, 2021
The mid-point of July has come and gone, some of our summer fading away, right before our very eyes. We've had days of 'holy humid batman' and 'it's supposed to rain' and days where the outdoors call your name.
Today, I pray that you might be able to take advantage of a little time outdoors, hopefully doing something you enjoy. I hope that it's not done simply because it has to be done (like a walk, because the doctor said so) but more like a walk because you love the sights, smells and sounds of nature.
A prayer for us today:
Creator God, thank you for the beauty of our world. For the singing birds, the smell of the freshly mowed grass and for the beauty in the flowers and trees that we walk by. May we experience and appreciate the beauty in our world, while also remembering that we, too, are of that same world. Help us, O God, to see the beauty within ourselves and each other. Encourage us to share some really nice words with those we encounter so we can hear the song that is in their hearts. Be with us this day and all our days, in strength, courage and in faith. Amen.
