The Light of You: A Prayer
As we bring healing to those in need of strength,
May our spirits be filled with the light of You.
As we bring hope to a broken world.
Life as a Banquet: A Thanksgiving Prayer
This original prayer is a reminder to all of us to rejoice in life's blessings and to share the bounty of God's gifts.
Kindling the Lights of Peace: A Meditation for Shabbat Candle-Lighting
A Prayer for After Elections
A Poem for Elul
Poet Stacey Robinson: "I stand here, ready to begin again, to follow this road of dust, that stretches before me."
“Sing with Liberty,” a Prayer of Immigration and Welcoming
This prayer/song is based on “New Colossus,” the sonnet by Emma Lazarus appearing on a plaque inside the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty. Those familiar with the sonnet will recognize the images and phrases reflected here; it was written as an antidote to attempted hijackings of the message of the Lazarus poem.
Gratitude for Work
This is a simple prayer of gratitude for having a job. It can be easy to take for granted at times, especially with a challenging job or a difficult boss.
This prayer appears in the Labor Day section of This Grateful Heart: Psalms and Prayers for a New Day, along with a social justice prayer "Against Worker Exploitation," also very appropriate for this day.” Optional language appears in [brackets].
