Dear *|FIRSTNAME|*,
This week we have a prayer from Dave Tomlinson, who led an inspiring church community day at Bossey back in February 2020 – just before the pandemic took hold. His prayer encourages us to meet God in the reality of today rather than in what we wish today could be.
God of the rolling hillsides,
God of calm waters and fluffy clouds.
God, too, of crowded high streets,
Of packed tubes and buses.
God of tedious daily routine,
Of disappointment and despair
But also, of excitement,
Promise, and possibility:
We open ourselves to the prospect
of another week (or weekend!),
to the lifeforce present in each moment,
to the undiscovered treasures of our own soulfulness.
May we walk this world,
Meeting each day, each person,
Each encounter for what it is
And not what we would wish it to be. Amen.
