Prayer
About praying the Psalms, Kathleen Norris notices how they “defeat our tendency to try to be holy without being human first.”

Teach me to trust in Your sufficiency, not my striving. Teach me to rest in Your grace, not my efforts. Be my peace when I cannot find it. Be my strength when I am weak. Be my God w... See more
Part of GPT response to my unfiltered thoughts this morning, 2025.01.20
Father, I come to You unsure, worn, and questioning my faith. Am I Yours? I feel like a striver, exhausted by my own failures. But I lay it all before You, trusting in Your promise that I am saved by grace through faith, not by my works. Let Your Spirit testify to my spirit that I am Your child. Help me to abide in You, trusting that You will produ... See more

Lord God, in the deepest night there rises the star
of morning, of birth, the herald of a new day you
are making, a day of great joy dawning in yet faint
shafts of light and love. I hear whispers of peace
in the stillness, fresh breezes of promise stirring,

All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
The hatred which divides nation from nation, race from race, class from class,
Father forgive.
The covetous desires of people and nations to possess what is not their own,

PRAYER
O God our deliverer,
you cast down the mighty,
and lift up those of no account:
as Elizabeth and Mary embraced
with songs of liberation,
so may we also be pregnant with your Spirit,
and affirm one another in hope for the world,
through Jesus Christ, Amen.

the footsteps of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, and so
make our way to you, Mos... See more
