Pause for Prayer: FRIDAY 7/17

Lord,

I need boxes, paper, ribbon and string
to wrap for safekeeping
the moments of peace that come my way,
the favors of grace that fall from your hand,
the gifts of joy that land in my lap...

I need to save and wrap these memories, Lord,
for days when peace is hard to find,
when joy is scarce, in short supply,
and when I'm blind to all the grace
you offer daily, without fail...

I need to keep and store these gifts
to open and enjoy again, remembering
how you've kept me safe
and safe will lead me through the times
when all seems bleak and lost...

I need to savor all the kindnesses
you've shown me in your love
and in the friends who care for me,
who've got my back
and hold me in their hearts...

I need boxes, paper, ribbon and string
to wrap for safekeeping
the moments of peace that come my way,
the favors of grace that fall from your hand,
the gifts of joy that land in my lap...

Help me remember all I've received
from family, friends and you, O Lord:
help me gather up and wrap and save
the gifts and blessings of the past
to help me through the day at hand...

Amen.
