Pause for Prayer: FRIDAY

I can hardly believe it, Lord:

   3 months, 

   that's 12 weeks,

   just 91 days

   'til your BIRTHDAY!

 

And so much to do between now and then

- and I'm not talking Christmas shopping!

 

Three months of

    big decisions

    sensitive issues

    moral choices

    pandemic safety

    healing social wounds 

    critical responsibilities

    and lots of hard work...

 

We need your help, Lord!

 

We need your counsel and wisdom

    for making decisions and choices

        with far-reaching consequences...

 

We need understanding and compassion

    to respond to and resolve

        our social unrest and injustice...

 

We need patience and prudence

    to make our way through 

        this season of viral affliction...

We need your mercy and pardon 

    for the failures and sins

        that have brought us to where we are...

 

We need your strength to sustain us,

    your grace to inspire us,

        your Spirit to guide us...

 

Show us the way to what's right and just,

    decent and true, equal and fair:

        to what leads us home to your peace, Lord...

 

So, 3 months,

that's 12 weeks,

just 91 days

between now and Christmas day:

    be with us, Lord, we pray,

    be with us, Lord,  we pray!

Amen.
