Prayer for "Tough to Chew and Hard to Swallow" Sermon March 15, 2009

Loving Lord, you are ever around, before, and within us ever encouraging us toward holiness. Our desire is to become spiritually complete, wholly Christian in our every thought and action, but we are well aware that holiness is the destination on the journey of a lifetime. Help us to remember that it is better to be on our way to holiness than to imagine we have already arrived. As we explore our place in this world help us dearest Lord, to find your way when we blunder into unfamiliar territory. Guide our steps carefully and gently that we may find the place of common ground. Let us listen and learn and when we are given the opportunity give us gracious words to speak, words that echo your love and understanding for all people. In the morning of each new day we are grateful for the opportunity to offer you thanks and praise. Thank you we say in the name of the Christ. Amen.
