Daily Prayers for October 22nd, 2022
Prayer of Illumination:
Lord God of good works and of good rests,
We are full of busyness in our lives. Work and love for our neighbors. We find days though which our work we feel is empty. There are days when loving our neighbor feels like a chore then a joy of our hearts. We come to this time for space to breath. We come to this to find our rest in you. We come to quite ourselves and be present in your word. Bless this time to learn not as busy as the word helps us to learn. Bless this time with restful growth for our souls. Help us to quite our I’s and be open to receiving the grace of your love. This time of resting in your word bless and fill us for the joy you have planned for us to witness ahead. Amen.
Because I had an interesting dream, I prayed:
God of dreams,
I have wonder why we dream.
Often, I think that this world shaders our dreams.
Those dreams that feel so out of reach or seem unlikely in this world.
Yet you create for us new dreams.
True dreams of hope.
Even when we don’t see it or feel it in our lives.
In our dreams, we can be anyone. Travel to any time and place.
Yet we work in a work where dreams are sown and the work of seeing dreams come true take work.
Do we do this for ourselves, do we do this for our neighbors, and do we do this for you?
I wonder how such dreams bold like Joseph’s dream show us more of your glory then our pride.
Yet you are woven into our dreams and are our best thought.
To you do we trust.
Amen.
