Give us your peace, so we will be content to remain on your Ancient Path. We will keep our eyes on you and the Faith-markers of our ancestors, so we will resist temptation and not stray from this path.

We enter your sacred prayer space to seek your loving sustenance for our lives. We believe you are the Bread of Life, from God our Creator. But we hear arguments even from those in positions of religious authority that they do not understand how your words can be true. You meet us in our distress, reassuring us that you have all we need.

Today, we invite you to reread, rest and reflect on the prayers of the past week.

Psalm 125
Proverbs 8:1-31
Matthew 15:21-31

We enter your sacred prayer space, this place where you live and where your glory dwells. Our eyes are often drawn to the actions of those who do not trust in you. They entice us, tempting us to wander with them and to follow their ways of folly. We admit that sometimes we are overtaken by temptation.

There is only one true love; there is only one true joy. There is only one true spiritual wind. You are the truest of true. You are our only one true God. Bind us together in your sacred garden for all eternity.
