Day 9 Creator God

 

Day 9

Oh Heart of Love, oh Mighty Creator

Help us bear witness to the harm being done to the planet so that we can aim to love and restore it once again, right now.

Oh Lord, the needs of the planet our mighty. The forests have been destroyed, the climate is changing, reeking havoc, meanwhile we seem to move toward a terrifying future with our eyes closed or feeling helpless and too overwhelmed by the vastness of the reality to know how to act and what to do. Help us see how we can each make a small difference in creating healing in our environments and communities. 

What can I offer?

 

So what can I offer you

From my different perspective of the world?
From a place of frequent paralysis and empty-mindedness.
I can share my inner knowledge of being.
My world, so empty of business, 
becomes a place of waiting, seeking inner peace and understanding.
The things I know are hard won amidst the decades of intense suffering.
The emptiness of action, is replaced by the stillness of pure being.
Even when I cannot communicate,
Yet still I am:
A person, aware on the inside, unable to express who I am.
I need you trust that I am still there.
I am still me.
I am still thinking even if in a different way.
I still need you to know me, not to patronise or deny me.
Do not count inexpression as both an internal and an external loss.
Do not retreat into child-like conversation as if I cannot understand.
Maybe I cannot fully follow every word, but maybe I can.
Trust and hope in that.
Believe still in my equality and respect me.
Be still with me.
Don’t busy yourself past me for want of an ability to find or understand me.
Believe and know that I am still here on the inside,
Longing to be seen, recognised, validated, attended to, cared for.
For I am peace among the ruins
And long to be seen for who I still am.

Day 8 Creator God

Day 8

Oh Heart of Love, oh Mighty Creator

Comfort all of nature in its great need, protect it, heal, it save it, help us to honour it and take care of it as is Your Will.

Lord, the earth and its creatures are hurting. The ice caps are melting. The species are dying. The butterflies and birds and insects are diminishing, we are poisoning our waterways and the very air we breathe. How can this be? Lord guide us to a better future. Take away all fear. Open our hearts and minds to take right action now to restore all that us list before it is too late. We beg you for your Love and Mercy in our lives and those of future generations. We trust in your Euston and guidance.

Hope

We all have the potential to be hope in the world if we live in God and allow His light to ignite our own. Together in oneness with the Trinity that light shines far and wide and blesses the world with the hope of new and fundamentally good possibilities. We can chose the path of Light in any moment. We can return to it when we lose our way if hope remains a possibility within us.

Extreme Prayer

Lord, I call out to you

In my extreme need

Hear me

Save me 

Protect me

Heal me

Banish all 

That harms me,

In Your most holy Name

Amen

Creator God Day 7

 

Day 7

Oh Heart of Love, oh Mighty Creator

Guide us in the way of love that we might nurture and care for our world much better than right now.

Lord, help us to serve in love and mercy, just as you do. There is so much need all around us. Help us to recognise it and look for ways to enable a brighter future, empower others to share in caring for creation and restore and enrich our world, to save it from harm, in a peaceful and loving way. Open our eyes to see how we can make a positive difference in our own lives and the lives of others. Help us to grow in consciousness and make right what is wrong in constructive and compassionate ways.

World Earth Day

 

Today is World Earth Day. 

May we bless our environments. 

May we bless the trees and insects, the birds and animals that live in them. 

May we pray for change of awareness for all of nature, for it is sorely needed. 

Amen
