Theme for the Week: “Not So Common Prayers”
Friday Fantasy: The Need for Renewal
Good morning God,
It has been a demanding week. I feel like maybe you will understand if I sound a bit demanding in my prayers today. The grief demands of the week have been great. The sadness of children and adults traveling through grief has been great. I feel totally drained.
I know the experiences and the disciplines of the past week have marred me and scarred me. I know they have and continue to mold me into the person I am and will become. Thank you.
But, right now, I confess that I am looking forward to renewal this weekend. Some quiet time in my own backyard, some time with my flowers, with the birds, with a refreshing beverage is what I treasure right now. Yes, I want some inner refurbishment so that my redecorated heart can dance with joy and gladness as I relax and prepare for another week of caring for your people.
Thanks for hearing, listening and responding with grace. Amen.
Have a good weekend.
