Midday

Midday Reminder

from Proverbs 30:7-9

“O God, I beg two favors from you;

let me have them before I die.

First, help me never to tell a lie.

Second, give me neither poverty nor riches!

Give me just enough to satisfy my needs.

For if I grow rich,
I may deny you and say, “Who is the Lord?”

And if I am too poor,
I may steal and thus insult God’s holy name.”
 
The Tax Collector’s Prayer

from Luke 18:13
God, be merciful to me, a sinner.
 

Praying Like Jesus

based on Matthew 6:9-13

God of heaven and earth

and all that is:

I honor you and

I commit myself to you.

I will follow your Way

in all times and places,

and I'm content

with what you bring me today.

I'm only human

and I need your help  

to share with others

the grace I need from you.

Thank you,

for being my strength

when I am weak, 

and my wisdom

when I speak.

Thank you,

for the peace to go forward

and for always being with me.

Amen.

A Prayer of Patience

based on Psalm 37:7  

Here I am, breathing deep

and slowing myself down.

I am not my own.
