Today’s Reflection: O Lord, Thank you for all the good gifts you have given us….
For the fine, delicate balance of the natural world.
For the amazing variety of fruit seeds and grains.
For the beauty of autumn when the greens turn yellow, gold and crimson.
Lord, help us to enjoy this beautiful season. Amen. — Unattributed.

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.
Be with me through the calm
and through the storm,
be my comfort
when I’m hurting,
be my helper
when I’m falling.
Walk with me every moment
of this new day. — Unattributed.

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.

Today’s Reflection: Open my ears, Lord, when talking to me in prayer. Some days, I hear only what I want to hear. Some days, I have a hard time listening. Open my ears Lord, when talking to me in prayer.

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.
Then with the turning of the tide
Prepare me to carry your presence to the busy world beyond,
The world that rushes in on me,
Til the waters come again and fold me back to you. — Prayer of St. Aidan of Lindisfarne.
