A Prayer for Wednesday, July 30, 2014

Big & Little

O God,

We praise you because you are the God of big things.
We praise you because you are the creator and sustainer of the Universe.
We praise you because you are the beginning and the goal of history.
We praise you because your majesty is unfathomable.

We praise you because you are the God of little things.
We praise you because your eye is on the sparrow.
We praise you because you care about our little lives.
We praise you because your love is knowable.

Grant that we will see our little lives
in the context of the big things you are doing
so that we don’t overestimate
our importance.

Grant that we will experience
the love and grace of your presence
so that we don’t underestimate
our value.

Amen.
