Holy One, blessed Mother of us all, thank you for this day. God, when my sons were babies, I would check them in the night and watch them sleep -- their tiny world alive with the dreams of innocence. I treasure those moments. Holy Parent, as you watch us sleep, I wonder if you stand in the doorway and treasure us in the same way. I suspect you do. And now we joyfully greet the new day together.
This day is like a fresh page in a journal. I can make it what it will be. Guide my steps God, as I lead in our worship this morning. May the deep joy that I feel in your presence be shared in this place, and may the Holy Spirit's lively and unpredictable nature be celebrated.
As I move through Lent, I need to know you are with me God. All of us, your people, we need each other because sometimes the way is rough. Lent challenges us in so many ways. As the cross comes into focus, we have to ask ourselves some hard questions. Who are you? Who is Jesus? How then shall we live?
Be present, God of all seasons and all times, for we need you, praise you, and indeed, we love you. Amen.
