Daily Reflections
Prayer
Eternal God, today, our Muslim sisters and brothers begin their celebration of the birth and life of the Prophet Muhammad. Open our minds to your wisdom that we might grow in our appreciation of the revelation of your presence and love in so many ways and in so many traditions. Encouraged by the words of the prophet, may we all seek the wealth that comes from faith in you and expresses itself in love for others. We pray in thanksgiving for the God made visible in countless faces. Amen.
Prayer
God of all good things, we thank you today and every day for the many gifts you give to us, for the many blessings you bestow upon us. We thank you today in a special way for the gift of music. Music can stir the soul, can inspire the heart, can stimulate the imagination, and can call to action. Fill our hearts with gratitude and appreciation for all your good gifts. May we strive each day to use them in a way that will bring glory to your name and advance peace among your people. Amen.
