A Prayer for Thursday, February 16, 2012

The Way

When we live in a culture that

expects dishonesty,
celebrates celebrity,
promotes selfishness,
trusts wealth, and
glorifies greed

while we follow the Way that

fosters integrity,
honors modesty,
develops selflessness,
embraces poverty, and
practices generosity…

we need, O God, in every second of our lives,

attentiveness,
encouragement,
determination,
centeredness, and
grace.

Thank you, O God, for the gifts that enable us to live as who we are and to walk in your Way for us are even as we are pulled and pushed to be other than who we are and to follow a different way.

Amen.
