Monday Prayer: When I Should Be Happy

God of all times-

I know I should be happy.
There is a new baby, a new job, a new relationship
Spring comes, blooming
Summer hails, warming
Fall eases, tempering
Winter arrives, sparkling...

And, yet, I am in a season of discontent...
      My laugh is forced. My energy wanes. My heart is heavy.


How long, O Lord, how long?

Alert me to your Presence and awaken me to your Love.
    Float me on the river of your forgiveness and sail me on a sea of mercy and grace.
          Let me see myself through your eyes- lovely, created, redeemed, and still under construction.


Bring me into Your Peace.

Bring me into Your Peace.

Bring me Your Peace.

Bring me Your Peace.

Bring Your Peace.

Bring Your Peace.

Bring Peace.

Bring Peace.

Peace.

Peace.



Peace.




Amen.

Praying for all affected by the bombing at the Boston Marathon finish line. Which, I think, is everyone who hears about it.

Lord, hear our prayers.
