Early Morning Prayer

Gracious, loving God,
On this cold, wintry day
I thank you for the warmth of your love
that covers me like a blanket,
keeping me safe and secure.
As the snow lays on the ground.
I am comforted by your words through the prophet Isaiah,
that though my “sins be as scarlet they shall be white as snow.”
Thank you for your grace and forgiveness.
Help me to fall asleep again, and in the darkness breathe
deeply and close my eyes.
Watch over me and all I love until I awaken to the dawning
of a new day.

Prayer inspired by dew drops

Good morning, dew drops!
You who kiss the ground and grass
and melt under the warm rays of the sun
while golden maple leaves flutter
down…
down…
down…
and I watch from my window
in grateful wonder.
Dear God, can I be a dew drop for a few moments?
Let me melt into your warm presence
and bask in the gentle rays of your love.
