Monday Morning Offering: 10/7

Morning Coffee by George Mendoza

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good morning, good God!

I offer you the joys of all who will today 

find help, a friend, a cure,
some work, some rest and time to share a laugh...

I offer you the heavy hearts
of those bent low by sorrow, grief, loss and tears:
the hearts of all who weep today and call upon your name...

I offer you the peace of those who will this day 

find healing, hope and trust in you,
a deeper faith and mercy and forgiveness

 

I offer you the wounded hearts
of those who've lost so much, too much, 

in love, in war, in life,

and in the hidden disappointments

of promises not kept...

 

I offer you the faith of hearts who reach for you 

when strength for reaching's all but gone
and longing for your touch is all there is...

 

I offer you the hope of hearts who seek your light 

when shadows veil their weary souls

and all looks dark ahead...

I offer you the trust of hearts who in their fear 

still take your hand and follow, always faithfully, 

wherever you may lead...

 

I offer you the hearts of all 

who join me in this prayer, Lord:
    receive and bless and heal with grace
    our wounded, joyful, sorrowed souls 

    and all our deeds this day...

Amen.
