A Sense of Humor
“Where can I go from God’s spirit?
Where can I flee from God’s presence?”
--Questions raised by a songwriter (Psalm 139: 7)
We’ve made it to Friday and I share with you one of my favorite prayers.
God,
Give me a sense of humor
Give me the grace to see a joke,
To get some pleasure out of life
And pass it on to other folk.
Have a good day and a wonderful weekend.

God Always Present
“Where can I go from God’s spirit?
Where can I flee from God’s presence?”
Questions raised by a songwriter (Psalm 139: 7)
A prayer for times when life is filled with health and blessings:
When the wind blows
That is my medicine.
When it rains
That is my medicine
When it hails
That is my medicine.
When it becomes clear after a storm
That is my medicine.
For when I am healthy,
I sense God’s medicine in all that surrounds me.

St. Teresa of Avila Prayer
“Where can I go from God’s spirit?
Where can I flee from God’s presence?”
--Questions raised by a songwriter (Psalm 139: 7)
Today’s devotional life takes us back almost 500 years. This is a prayer of Saint Teresa of Avila:
“Let nothing disturb you
Nothing frighten you,
All things are passing;
Patient endurance
Attains all things:
One whom God possesses
Wants nothing
For God alone suffices.”

A New Week
“Where can I go from God’s spirit?
