Daily Reflections
Prayer
Merciful God, we know we do not always live up to our noble calling to reflect your presence and love in the world. Fill us with your Holy Spirit that we might be willing and ready to forgive those who have wronged us. Help us to develop hearts open to the forgiveness offered to us by those we have wronged. May our willingness to forgive and be forgiven help to reconcile a broken world. Amen.
Prayer
God of love, we are able to love others because you first love us. Fill us with gratitude for the gift of your love, a gift that makes all things possible. Inspire us by the example of your Son Jesus that we may lead lives shaped by love. Guide our hearts that we might always strive to be better reflections of your love in and for the world. We pray this in the name of your Son Jesus. Amen.
Prayer
God of goodness and peace, Your love for us is unwavering. In good times and in bad, on days of sunshine and days of rain, your love remains. Help us to be mindful today and all days of the bounty of your love. Fill us with your Holy Spirit that we may respond with commitment and courage to your call to love others as you love us. Stir within us a spirit of thanksgiving for your goodness and an openness to share your goodness with others. We pray in your name. Amen.
