God speaks to us in the silence, may our ears and hearts be attuned to the language of God.
I consent to the Holy Spirit’s leading. I breathe in the presence of the One who is Joy. I breathe out and know I am loved. (12 seconds)
I remember my day. My eyes first opening. The sounds of morning. I am grateful. (20 sec)
I think of the people in my life today. Think of the moments my life intersected with theirs. (20 sec)
I remember the food I ate. I think of the ways I used and took care of my body. (20 sec)
I remember the work I accomplished. The labor I strained under. (20 sec)
I scan my day and remember the feelings that passed through me today. (20 sec)
God of my day, reveal to me a moment that you were closest to me today. Where I felt your hand in mine. Where I felt your nudge towards another person or your words on my lips. Where I felt your presence in the comfort of a loved one or a stranger. (20 sec)
Revealer of Truth, show me a moment today where I walked past you. Where I ignored your call. Where I chose my own comfort over you. (20 sec)
Teach me Lord. Teach me the wisdom of noticing the small things. What moment today do you want me to choose to learn from, or just simply to notice, to acknowledge. (6 sec) In the bigger story of my life, help me to see the small moments of today as the holy moments leading towards tomorrow. (20 sec)
Show me Lord. Show me how to live in the posture of Christ tomorrow. I set an intention now to live with gratitude, with servanthood, with curiosity and joy. Show me. Make me aware so that I don’t miss a moment of what you offer me each and every day. (10 sec)
Amen.

Episode 21: The Good News
June 6, 2022 • Kelley Weber
Dear Jesus - Thank you that the Good News is Love. We ask that you might show us our behaviors that are getting in the way of our loving people well. What fears might we have of living into perfect love? Are we scared it might put us in places where we’re not comfortable? It might ask us to give of ourselves and our resources more generously. It might mean that things we believed made us special are no longer true. Show us our fears, humble us that we might step into a life of love. Lord, we ask that you put a Jesus in our life. Put someone in our life that models what it means to love others well. Lord, we ask that we might be Jesus for someone else. Allow us to be a model of love for someone who needs to a model. Thank you that it is simple news and that it is truly good. We love you. Amen.
Episode 20: Prayer for Contentment
May 23, 2022 • Kelley Weber
Dear God, Allow us to trust our bodies that they will teach us how to recognize the clinging of our hearts and minds and hands to that which is not life giving to those things we should not worship. Make clear to us the times when we live into the Grace that is offered us in every moment. Help us not just to pay attention but to recognize and shift our behavior so that we may live simply, with contentment. And allow our longing to be only for you. Amen

May 9, 2022 • Kelley Weber
God of all love and mercy - rain your grace down on us this day. Cover us with healing waters that wash away the worry, that allow us to let go of what we can’t control. Give us a moment to catch our breath. Give us room to be grateful. We ask for a respite as we are in need of rest. We are tired, Lord. We are tired. Hear our prayer. Amen.
