Deuteronomy 17:14-20

Loving Divine Family,

We enter your sacred prayer space as open books before you. You already know what is in our hearts even before we are aware. Your teachings are our wisdom. Your word fertilises the good seeds you have planted within us. You are preparing us for what is to come–you are nourishing and nurturing us.

Loving Yahweh, thank you for our homes and for your provision. May we learn to cherish and honour you and follow your instructions and wisdom. May we live lives of humility that bring you glory and honour.

I receive your word and wisdom today, Loving God, and thank you for…

We choose you above all others to be our God. With you as the author and foundation of our lives, we will love you, and encourage others to also grow in their love for you. Sustain us on your Ancient Path. Grant us your grace and faith to step boldly into thresholds that take us to your glory. When fear grips us, empty us of our fears and pull us forward, so we will step into your light and everlasting life. 

With joy we praise you!

Amen!

Cherie and Donovan Mutschler

Loving Yahweh, you are our God. In the wilderness, we are thirsty and are earnestly seeking you. We are thirsty because we have displaced what we truly need with things that falsely claim to meet our needs. Our addictions draw us away from you and divert our energy to destruction. We pray to you, remembering your power, strength, and might. We are reminded that you love us with unmerited generosity.

We enter your sacred prayer space full of questions and concerns. You invite us into your mystery. You light a candle for us–a reminder of your presence. We see the light dancing with darkness; your spirit is in the darkness as it is in the light. We burn our incense and tobacco in ceremonies of worship. Join us in our ceremony, O LORD. We create room for you to draw close to us.
