Today’s Reflection – Prayer for Courage
God of our life, there are days when the burdens we carry chafe our shoulders and weigh us down; when the road seems dreary and endless, the skies grey and threatening; when our lives have no music in them, and our hearts are lonely, our souls have lost their courage.
Flood the path with light, turn our eyes to where the skies are full of promise; tune our hearts to brave music….quicken our spirits that we may be able to encourage the souls of all who journey with us on the road of life, to your honor and glory. — Prayer for Courage by St. Augustine

Today’s Reflection – Prayer for Water and Rain: Sustaining God, thank you for water. Thank you for the way it cools the earth, and hydrates the land. Thank you for the smell of the earth after the rain has fallen. We ask that the rain come as often as it is needed, so that crops and gardens may flourish. Amen. — from Liturgy for Blessing Gardens and Gardeners

Today’s Reflection – Morning Prayer
Remind us and reassure us, Lord,
that even though we stray from your path,
even though we wander far off in pursuit of our own desires and dreams, you remain constant,
your love for us unfailing, your arms wide open
to welcome us home.
May we show that love to all. — Bill Braviner
