For the 4th Sunday at Union Church, there are service opportunities for Sunday mornings, and I love this rhythm as it's a reminder that all of life is worship (not just the singing and gathering on Sunday mornings). Today there was a group who gathered to collect trash on Lake Union in kayaks, and I was definitely up for this opportunity!
Prepare
our bodies for the labors of this day. Give us strength and health to complete
them.
Prepare
our minds for the demands of this day. Grant us clarity, creativity, and
discernment.
Prepare
our souls for those sorrows and joys and celebrations and disappointments we
will encounter, that every circumstance would serve only to draw us nearer to
you.
May
our words, our choices, and our actions today be offered as true expressions of
worship.
Now
you who are loved of God, step forward into this new day appointed by him, that
you might journey through its hours in the peace and grace and the love of your
Lord.
Lead
us this day, Lord Christ that we might walk its paths in the light of the hope
of our coming redemption.
Amen
(Morning Prayer from Every Moment Holy)
