Today’s Reflection: Love this Morning Prayer! – Dear Heavenly Father, Be with me in my going out and coming home, in my journeying and returning, in my decision making and organizing.

Today’s Reflection: Hear our prayer today for all women and men, boys and girls who are homeless this day. For those sleeping under bridges, on park benches, in doorways or bus stations. For those who can only find shelter for the night but must wander in the daytime. For families broken because they could not afford to pay the rent. For those who have no relatives or friends who can take them in. For those who have no place to keep possessions that remind them who they are. For those who are afraid and hopeless. For those who have been betrayed by our social safety net. For all these people, we pray that you will provide shelter, security and hope. We pray for those of us with warm houses and comfortable beds, that we not be lulled into complacency and forgetfulness. Jesus, help us to see your face in the eyes of every homeless person we meet so that we may be empowered through word and deed, and through the political means we have to bring justice and peace to those who are homeless. Amen. — from Leadinginworship, a Mennonite prayer resource. Morning Offering is a daily post by Joe Barkovich, who lives in his hometown of Welland, Ontario. Daily photo by Joe Barkovich.

Today’s Reflection: Leave me alone with God as much as may be. As the tide draws water close in upon the shore, Make me an island, set apart, Alone with you, God, Holy to you.
