Prayer For Sunday June 14, 2009

Wondrous God, you are and have been before the beginning of all things. When we are thoughtful, meditating on your part in our lives, we realize that we humans exist by virtue of your creating and creative energy. We are grateful for the talents, strengths, skills and capabilities you have given to each one of us, and yet we must confess that sometimes we have been envious of what we saw as incredible in others. Remind us that we are never a finished product, that you are ever shaping and molding us. Cause us, dearest Lord to be open to your creative spirit always working in us, dancing around us, ever inviting us to learn a little more, to expand our thinking and to explore new ideas. Do not let us be convinced that our brains are maxed out and over crowded with a life time of accumulated information. Remind us that some of the stuff poured into our heads you didn’t put there. Clear our minds of the debris of self doubt, put downs and criticism. Let us sweep away what we truly don’t need to make room for all the possibilities you will set before us. In the name of the Christ we pray. Amen
