A Welcome Change
Mother Nature seems to have sent a warming trend to the Midwest this week and it seems people are coming to work with some new found energy and ready to tackle the demands of the day. All of a sudden positive emotions are replacing the experiences that have been part of enduring a cold, icy, relentless winter. The following prayer may give some insight.
A prayer for today:
Ah God, I would thank you for your constant renewal.
Sometimes I’m happy, sometimes I’m blue, I fluctuate and vacillate.
Sometimes my heart sings, sometimes it sobs.
But your Spirit comes—
Sometimes when I pray for the coming and
Sometimes when I least expect it.
Keep coming, O Lord,
For I often get too busy, too harried and too preoccupied
with the details of the day
and fail to ride on the wind of your Spirit.
I need to stop and look at my surroundings more often than I do.
Perhaps I will be more aware from now on, but maybe not.
So keep coming, Lord.
I desperately need you, especially today.
