Sunday Prayer

Gracious God
We come to you
broken
seeking
to be made whole.

On this night/day
we pray for those
who weep,
who have died
who are struggling.

Compassionate God
We come to you
tired
yearning
for peace and harmony.

Loving God
We offer our
suffering
looking
for solace and comfort.

Holy God
Take our fears
tears
losses
and heal us.

In our darkness
be with us
hold us
contain
and sustain us.

Gentle God
anoint us
with your
peace
and love.

Amen.

Please pray for the swift healing of the organist at my church, Tim, who yesterday dislocated a finger. Always an inconvenient injury for an organist, and more so now since we have been spending the last two weeks publicizing our NEW ORGAN DEDICATION CONCERT which was scheduled for Feb 22 and which Tim was to play all of!!!!!! It will have to be rescheduled now.

I am trying to be that non-anxious presence as I head to the church this morning, so needed to blow off some steam here beforehand. Hence the caps and exclamation points.
Thanks friends.
