Night Prayer:Lord,tonight as we hold in your healing light the immeasurable trauma of your broken and fractured world; help us by your Spirit to be agents of your healing love that in some small way our presence and our actions may lessen the trauma around us.
Morning prayer: Lord, in an ocean of difficult news, help us to know, deeply within us, that hope is more real than despair, faith more real than distrust, and love more real than fear. ( A thought from Henri Nouwen) https://t.co/8P9CK4eCvB
Morning prayer: Lord, thank you that you are very present to us in the present moment. Please help us to live there, and not in the unaltered past or the unpredictable future. https://t.co/Sy9iVdumoZ
