Evening Prayer – 27 January 2016

  
So yes, it is past midnight in Decatur… But it is just past 10 pm in Colorado so it is still time for Evening Prayer on Thursday! 

The Vesper Lights are flickering

A long day of travel is done

Thankful for reminders of what we are called to be

Called to serve ALL God’s children

No place for discrimination 

No place for bigotry

No place for hatred

Lord, help us to see others as you do

Help us to see ALL as they were created

In the image of God we were created

Help us to turn aside from bigotry and fear

Help us to turn away from racism and hatred

Help us to turn away from sexism of all kinds

Help us to simply be

Your agents of grace, mercy, love, justice, and peace

Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer 

Dona Nobis Pacem 

Grant Us Peace
A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre after a long day of travel… After an emotional and meaning-filled tour of the Carter Center… After an excellent beginning to the seminary class… After an evening of discussion and fellowship… May our sleep be deep and may we arise refreshed!
