Prayer and Deepest Sympathy

Prayer

Creator  God,  thank you for the gift of this new term. 

Refresh us, invite us to discover Your presence in each person that we meet

and every event we encounter. Teach us when to speak and when to listen when to ponder and when to share. In moments of challenge and decision attune our hearts to the whisperings of your Wisdom. As we undertake ordinary and unnoticed tasks, give us simple joy. When our days go well, may we rejoice. When they grow difficult, surprise us with new possibilities. When life is overwhelming, call us to Sabbath moments to restore your peace and harmony. May our work this term truly be holy revealing Your presence to all creation

Amen
