Pause for Prayer: SUNDAY 1/15



Whatever word you speak to me today,
   and you will, Lord:
        help me hear and take it to heart…


Whomever you bring for me to serve today,
   and you will:
        help me serve my neighbor freely and generously… 


Wherever you might lead me today, Lord,
   
and you will:

        help me follow wherever you go…

However you ask me to change today, Lord,
   and you will:
        give me the wisdom to do so gracefully…

Whomever you call me to forgive this day,
   and you will:
        help me do so with a loving, open heart…


Whenever you call me to task this day,
   and you will, Lord:
        help me respond humbly and quickly…


However you reveal yourself to me today,
   
and you will, Lord:

        help me see you and welcome you…


Whatever burden you give me to carry today,
   and you will:
        help me carry it with strength and grace…
   
Whatever you ask of me this day,
   
and you will, Lord:

        help me to do it without grumbling or complaint…

However you might surprise me today, Lord,
   and you will:
        help me receive it as a grace and blessing…


And whenever I ignore or forget you today,
   
and I will, Lord:

        turn my heart again to you in prayer…


Amen.
