As the writer of these prayers takes time off this week, we will repost a few from the past months: (6 August 2020) God of our protective impulses,... God of the common good: help us as we make decisions in the dark that will affect not just ourselves but those we love and those we should love. Give us the courage to trust not just our primal instincts, but the good news that what is best for the whole, for the neighbour and the stranger, is what protects the best in ourselves. Amen. www.corrymeela.org

Hey church families!! This will be great to tune into...

As we mark Transgender Day of Remembrance, we continue our prayers for community: 20-22 November 2020 God of those who hunger and thirst, ... God of the ones we imprison: you meet us in the lives of others. Too often we seek you by pulling away, by retreating into ourselves or by assembling some body of like-minded souls. And yet, the way to find you is not in separating ourselves one from another, but in seeking your presence alive in encounter; in meeting the needs of the people before us: the ones in your family we’ve sought to exclude. Amen. www.corrymeela.org

To build up spiritual resilience, we offer this series of prayers. 19 November 2020 God of the softness of night,... God of the brightness of day: the change that comes at twilight and dawn arrives with no fuss, yet is reliably revolutionary. In a matter of moments what was hidden is exposed, and what we wrestled with can be put to rest. May we, in these daily transitions, find comfort and solace, and learn how to ease into transformation with the grace you build into each day. Amen. www.corrymeela.org
