Exodus 34:1-9, 27-28

Loving Divine Family,

We enter your sacred prayer space, and become aware of your firm yet gentle hand upon us. We lash out at others for their acts and behaviours, but do not listen to your wisdom and guidance about how we should behave. We have acted with judgemental convictions towards you and others. But you are the God of countless second chances.

Oh loving, faithful Yahweh, thank you that your love is abounding. You desire for us to know you. Your commandments honour life, relationship, and your creation. Thank you for forgiving us; we have found favour in your eyes. Thank you for covering us in your love, for leading us with your ever-attentive presence.

I bow to the ground before you today, O Yahweh, and thank you for…

Face-to-face, you greet us. You draw near, and do not hide yourself from us. You have found favour with us. Skin-to-skin, you hold us. You fit our feet to journey upon Mother Earth in a good way. Walk with us as we journey on your Ancient Path. Be our God; we are your people.

With joy we praise you!

Amen!

Cherie and Donovan Mutschler

We enter your sacred prayer space, marvelling at your mystery. We see the many works of your hands–Grandfather Sun, Grandmother Moon, Mother Earth, and all other created beings. We are so amazed; we sometimes forget to give you thanks for creating them. But you, O Yahweh, are Creator of all things. Only you are worthy of our worship.

In peace we will lie down, for it is you, O LORD, you alone who makes us to rest secure.
Be it on your own beloved arm, O God of Grace, that in peace we shall awake.

Be the peace of the Spirit ours on this journey.
Be the peace of the Son ours on this journey.
Be the peace of the Creator ours on this journey.
The peace of all peace be ours on this journey,
As we sojourn together on your new path with you.

How many times, O Yahweh? How many times have we pushed against your mighty hand when you hold us in place, preventing us from making disastrous decisions that would lead us down a path of darkness and destruction? Only when we enter your sacred prayer space, do we realize the true nature of your strength. You use your strength to protect us, not to control us.

Thank you, Yahweh; you are our God who sees us and keeps your promises to us. You are with us in our fear, sadness, and depression. Thank you for caring for our needs, especially when we have neglected our needs and forget to celebrate your goodness and miracles. Thank you for your provision and leading us on our journey to you and relationship with you.
