A Prayer for Wednesday, May 1, 2013

Thirty-Second Day of Easter

O God,

Keep us alert today to the signs of life around us—to birds singing, to dogs barking, to flowers blooming, to breeze blowing, to rain falling, to sun shining, to people laughing, to music playing, to squirrels running, and to children playing.

Keep us alert today to the signs of life among us—to conversations shared, to hands grasped, to hugs experienced, to tears shed, to apologies offered, to forgiveness granted, to help offered, and to diversity celebrated.

Keep us alert today to the signs of life within us—to grace received, to compassion realized, to trust expressed, to hope acknowledged, to purpose affirmed, and to love experienced.

Amen.
