Daily Prayer for July 31st, 2022

Prayer of Adoration:


            God of Creation, I can't help but wonder and wander in all you have made. As often I see the same tree each day, new wonders I find. I cannot guess why; I don't always find a clear pattern. A bird might land or leave the branches at an unexpected moment. The unexpected happens. The moment the bird often comes while brings with it nothing. When the bird flies away, it usually leaves without taking anything along. So we like the birds come and go, with and without a thing, with and without reasons. Yet in this dear Lord, you do know the reason. You know what was brought and what was left. Like a dance, your creation moves with and without knowing the causes, and we pray that is good. What we do, say, and think may be good as we grow closer in our faith in You. Amen.  

 

Prayer of Confession:


            Lord God Almighty, I ask that you forgive me when I find nothing new in my heart to pray about and the words on my lips. Such words, I feel, are like a record playing the same old song with words known by heart and losing meaning. It is during such times that I wonder if I can still give thanks when I know that things I find right now are good. But am I looking at what is around me, or am I only seeing what I expect each day? Forgive me then, God, for my lack of willingness to find what's new that you present to me to find each day that I neglect to look, be mindful of, and consider in your presents. This I ask in your beloved name. Amen.
