Mt. Rainier Small Group Trip

a prayer I read to our family in the majesty of Mt. Rainier National Park: 
Abba, as the morning mist rises from the mountain tops, so may your spirit rise from within us. Your beauty and your majesty surround us- we give you thanks.  Look upon us in your love. Teach us your ways, guides us. May we set ourselves in rhythm with your heartbeat, sitting in silent peace enjoying the radiance of your presence. May our lives be an enchanting song of praise emanating our gratitude heavenward. We need you- you are our redeemer, our sustainer, our savior, our friend, our comforter, our guide, our creator, our muse, our God.  Open our eyes to see, our ears to hear and our hearts to obey.  Your touch is sweeter than the finest chocolate,  your presence more soothing than the warm summer breeze as the sun pierces the billowing clouds.  May your love pierce our souls.  Set us on fire with the breath of your spirit. Teach us to live with unfathomable joy. May we live with blazing intensity and comforting compassion. Abba, incline your ear to us that we may tell of your wonders.  -Mark Scandrette
