Prayer for the Week (a portion of a prayer from Sunday’s worship): You stand with us, Gracious God, even when we are not at our best. You beckon us into greater health and well-being because you are love, and you desire for us to know the fullness of life that is found in your love. Sometimes we are a bit overwhelmed by what is before us; sometimes we are stuck because of something in the past; sometimes we’ve been pushed down and left feeling defeated. Whatever it might be, help to provide us some space—some safe space—some space to breathe and to center ourselves in you. Even a little break from whatever it is that troubles us will be a gift from which we can find new capacity and strength for the work that lies ahead. We trust you and your love made ever so real to us in the life and teachings of Jesus, and it is in his name that we pray. Amen.
