Theme for the Week: “Not So Common Prayers”
Monday Musings: Values
Good morning God,
I’m back from a refreshing weekend and I had some quality time with the world you’ve made. Thank you. My senses are alive! And now I’m back at work, graced by air conditioning and so many other products of human technology. Problems will arise and people will need individual attention. Help me to honor the value of the earth and the value of spending time with people in need from my small region of your vast world.
Guide me through my struggles this week:
Can I learn how to use my possessions and be less used by them?
Can I embrace creation’s beauty?
Can I be less enamored with my own creations?
Can I slow down?
Can I surrender my greed; realizing generosity will not deplete me?
Can I live more simply so that others can simply live?
Teach me awareness, O God.
