Psalm 90:1-8, 12

Loving Divine Family,

We enter your sacred prayer space with many questions. The ideas of death and changing of our seasons can sometimes become overwhelming. We are aware that each second could be our last upon this earth in the company of our loved ones. These thoughts are too much for us. But you remind us that our time is set in eternity.

Loving Yahweh, teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Thank you, wisdom is found by those who love to search for it, and graciously appears on the paths of those who seek you.

I feel your loving embrace today, O LORD, and thank you for…

You scratch out all records of our shortcomings and mistakes. You wash us in your holy streams. You remove every blemish, every hard memory. Such mercies are more than we can comprehend. Give us your grace to focus on your mercies and not on our fears. With joy we praise you!

With joy we praise you!

Amen!

Cherie and Donovan Mutschler

We desire your instruction, which leads to wisdom. We are surrounded by true and false prophets who claim to teach your wisdom. It is sometimes difficult to discern truth from lies. But in your sacred prayer space, you invite us to hear your voice and listen to your word. You remind us that your voice can be heard when your prophets speak, and we should get accustomed to your voice.
