Morning Prayers:
God of light, you did not fill the earth with boring colors. Guide us out of the shadows, to step boldly into the light.
God of compassion, help us care for one another today. Help us open up instead of closing off. Help us love as you love.
God, help us go where you would lead us today, so we can become what you want us to become.
Evening Prayers:
Lord, calm our worrying hearts tonight. Give us patience for what we can't change and your courage for all things we can change.
In the midst of suffering, open our eyes to your presence with us, Lord. May your presence bring the peace we need tonight.
God, you told us that we can bring our burdens to you. Help us unload all that weighs us down, finding rest in you tonight.
