Lectionary Readings for Today: Weekly Review

Psalm 29
Ecclesiastes 3:1-15
1 Corinthians 2:11-16

I am amazed in your presence today, Loving LORD, and thank you for…

The wind, water, heavens, and angels all know you and follow your ways. We participate in your great mystery, joining with creation in constant praise to you.

Thank you, Loving God, for the Spirit-filled people you send to us to bring us good news, heal broken hearts, and who speak freedom and who remind us we are; your Beloved. We join with them, turning our sorrow into joyful songs of praise because you are with us. Thank you for removing our shame and disgrace. We relish in our inheritance and double portions. You fill us to the brim.

We enter your sacred prayer space, seeking revelation of your mysteries. You embrace us, and with a welcoming kiss, you invite us to stay and listen to you. Within your veil, you remind us of how you have walked with your people since the beginning of time.

Loving God, your ways are not our ways. We confess our lust for power, reputation, and status. Thank you for your gentle reminder we are your beloved creation. You love us. Thank you, the Holy Spirit is a gift of grace, mercy, and intimacy. May we be conduits of your love and Spirit to bless others and not to control them. We love you.

Fire, storms, and floods consume our enemies before you. At your command, your adversaries are swept away. You sustain us within your veil. Though the earth quakes, mountains crumble, and waters roar and foam; you are with us and are our refuge.

With joy we praise you!
