A Prayer for Tuesday, October 23, 2012

Where?

O God,

Sometimes we wonder.

Sometimes we wonder where our faith in you is. Sometimes we wonder where our hope for the future is. Sometimes we wonder where our peace in you is. Sometimes we wonder where our love for you is. Sometimes we wonder where our love for others is.

Show us, O God, that they are all still there within us.

Forgive us for how we so often let them get covered up by our efforts to live for ourselves rather than for you and to get hidden by our desire to do our will rather than to do yours.

Fill us so much with your presence, O God, that your gifts of faith, hope, peace, and love rise constantly and consistently to the surface so we can be aware of them and others can benefit from them.

Amen.
