A Prayer For The Week
Written by Carolina Fuentes, Cypress Creek Elder)
Loving God who cares for us as a loving parent.

We acknowledge that we all have had different life experiences and bring different feelings and expectations today. But we give you thanks for the opportunity to gather to be with one another and worship. We thank you for the gift of letting us show up just how we are and just where we are.

We pray for mothers today. Those who are joyful, those who are overwhelmed and struggling. We pray for those who have experienced loss and are grieving. We pray for those who miss their mothers or don’t have a relationship with them, those who have been hurt. We pray for encouragement, for guidance, for loving and practical support from those around us. We pray for the people who are mentors, helpers, spiritual parents, teachers and friends and for their important role in our lives and in our communities. We pray for Mother Earth and for its beauty and gifts; help us to be more connected to her and to be better caretakers.

Please give us today what we need, speak to our hearts, encourage us, and bring us closer to you and one another. Amen.
