Morning
Psalm 97; 147:12-20
Job 29:1; 31:1-23
Acts 15:11
John 11:17-29
Loving God, as the rising sun chases away the night, so you have scattered the power of death in the rising of Jesus Christ, and you bring us all blessings in him. Especially we thank you for
the community of faith in our church...
those with whom we work or share common concerns...
the diversity of your children...
indications of your love at work in the world...
those who work for reconciliation...
Mighty God, with the dawn of your love you reveal your victory over all that would destroy or harm, and you brighten the lives of all who need you. Especially we pray for
families suffering separation...
people different from ourselves...
those isolated by sickness or sorrow...
the victims of violence or warfare...
the church in the Pacific region...
Lamentation
This world. It's too much. It's muggy, hot, swampy and stifling. I yearn for cool fall or spring. For relief from the darkness that haunts us. We would have news that no newspaper could ever give us.
