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.

As I pondered what to write for this month’s Pastor’s Pen, I found myself led with curiosity to revisit what I wrote for my first article as your interim pastor. The first article was basically and introduction to Don and me; but the second article began addressing the time of transition the congregation was beginning to go through transition. You said goodbye to your previous pastors, welcomed me, and were engaged in the process of finding a new pastor. I read what I wrote then and felt led to share it again because circumstances are similar at this time. The congregation has changed and grown since then, so some of you will be reading this for the first time. I wrote the following for the October 2019 newsletter….
