Father in Heaven,
We pray for warmth this winter.

May Your love ignite the embers of our faith
When the winter presses the bitter cold
Against the doors of our hearts and homes.

Father in Heaven,
In our harried and hurried hearts,
May we attune to the speed of love
And the rhythms of grace to move slowly.

“The earth is Yours, and everything in it.”
Psalm 24:1

Father in Heaven,
Creator of all that is.
May we reflect
Your love for Creation,
And care for the home we share
With all You have made.

I am carried gracefully
By these two wheels beneath me,
Through the day.

In the morning
I’m surrounded by people
Rushing in cars to their places.
I pray mercy will mark their day.

May we be good stewards with our home,
And always be grateful for the place You have provided.
May the ways we want to improve our home,
Create new opportunities for hospitality, connection, and invitation.

May 40 Days
Of Lenten wilderness lead
To a greater awareness
Of our great need,
And of Your great love.

May I follow the Way of Jesus In living simply.
May simplicity bring clarity,
And the capacity to be present
To people, my practice, and this place…

Father in Heaven
Our desire is to dwell

To make a home
To be at home
To find our home
Here in Your love

May our sidewalks be
Places where we return
To moving at Godspeed,
Walking at a pace

May we walk through this season
And walk through our neighborhoods With Your eyes
With Your heart
And with Your love
