To See Hope In The Shadows




Dear God,

When we stand on the steep parts of life,
Give us vision to see hope in the shadows.

When the mountains seem too big to climb,
Show us the route to health and healing.

When today's climb is finished,
May our faith be unshakable.

In Christ's Name we pray.
Amen.

Where The Frenetic Pace Is Slowed




Dear God,

Guide our minds to a place
Where the frenetic pace is
Slowed by a gentle breeze.

A place where mountains
Meet the sky.
Ease our pains. Calm our fears.

Thanks God.
Amen.

A Place To Hear Your Still Small Voice



Dear God,

As summer fades away, put us in a place
Where hurriedness of life eases to a crawl,
Where time stands still.
A place to hear Your still small voice.

Thanks God.
Amen.

The Window You Have Provided



Dear God,

Instead of looking at things like everyone else does,
Help us to look at the same things and see something different.

Instead of seeing a hole in the wall,
May we recognize the window You have provided.

Thanks God.
Amen.
