Hebrews 4:14-5:4

Loving Divine Family,

We enter your sacred prayer space, holding firmly to the faith we possess. We come to you feeling pressed on all sides. We are experiencing grief, loss, loneliness, and illness. But you are our salvation; your peace reaches into the darkest places of our hearts, and we forget our fears.

Thank you for this sacred time with you. Thank you, Jesus, for being our high priest so we can come to God in confidence that we will receive mercy and grace. Thank you for intervening on our behalf.

I hold firmly to my faith today, Loving LORD, and thank you for…

Not just hidden in your care, but called to service; we go forth with you. We believe your promise that your love and peace go with us; you are with us wherever we go. Bless our footsteps upon your Ancient Path for all our days.

With joy we praise you!

Amen!

Cherie and Donovan Mutschler

Loving Yahweh, thank you for sharing your prayer space with us. Thank you for Mary’s act of love, washing Jesus’ feet with tears and perfume in preparation for his death. Thank you for Jesus’ act of love, washing the disciples’ feet that prepared them for their upcoming life. Thank you for cleansing us with water of life, which is love. We pray others will know we are your disciples because of our love for you, ourselves, and others.

We enter your sacred prayer space as your chosen people. We live in a world where religions tell us we need to follow your laws and commandments. But as you draw close to us, Life-giving Spirit embraces us. You press your lips to our ears and whisper, “Love me, love yourself, and love each other.”
