Take a Moment Prayer : Week of Oct 19
I welcome this new day in which my pilgrimage involves seeking you, O God. As I draw close to you, I find joy in your love pouring over me. With openness, I seek direction for my life, and in doing so I sense within my soul your guiding Spirit opening doors for me to walk through. I lift my thoughts and prayers to you for those whose pilgrimage is stressful and painful…those fighting illness…those needing comfort…those treated unjustly…those lost and seeking guidance. I ask you to meet them in their need to give them healing, hope, comfort, justice and guidance. I give you my praise and thanksgiving, knowing you hear and answer my prayers…and knowing you walk with me every moment through this…my journey of life. Amen.
