Presence 10: Arts That Inspire Reflection & PrayerSample

May the God of hope fill you with joy and peace today, right now as you read these words. There are times where it feels that peace is far from our grasp and hope is dwindling. But God brings joy, peace and hope. This is where we need to focus our attention, on Jesus.

Let’s pray;

God, I pray that I can focus on you at this time

That you would fill me with me with joy and peace

And in doing so bring me a hope that is overflowing

That will spill over, into the community in which I live.

Amen

A blessing for you written by Chris Matthews;

What Is Yet To Be

May light guide you

Heal and strengthen you,

Make visible

What is yet to be seen.

May you know the joy of a rising sun,

Grace enough for a new day,

Courage to trust for

What is yet to be

May you respond to a call to be present,

An awakening to

All that is uniquely yours,

What is yet to be lived.

May you be heard

When silence needs to be broken,

Yours a voice willing to name

What is yet to be spoken.

May you be blessed by generosity

As you discover

A willingness to hold lightly

What is yet to be given away.

May you know that tenacious,

steadfast, irrepressible love

Will never fail

And will be the final word.
