The Echo of Your Promise
When I cry my voice trembles with fear
When I call out it cracks with anger.
Acknowledging the Difficulty of Prayer
I have always found prayer difficult. So often it seems like a fruitless game of hide-and-seek where we seek and God hides…Yet I cannot leave prayer alone for long.
Efficacy of Prayer
Prayer is a pathway to God which leads us to feel God's love,
Not only in the heavens above but within us and within those about us.
Readings on Fire
It is written in Deuteronomy 12:6-7:
There you are to bring your burnt offerings and other sacrifices,
your tithes and contributions,
A Prayer for Those Affected by Fire
Our God and God of our fathers and mothers,
As the flames burn, wreaking havoc upon our forests, our homes, our fire fighters,
our sense of security,
We turn to You for comfort and support.
Biblical Readings on Fire
There was a great and mighty wind,
splitting mountains and shattering rocks by the power of Adonai;
but Adonai was not in the wind.
Prayers for Strength and Healing
Be with me, God. I feel so lost. I can't seem to escape the dark cloud that is hanging over me today.
Closing Songs
May we be blessed as we go on our way
May we be guided in peace
May we be blessed with health and joy
May this our blessing, amen.
