awake, thursday

Thursday, May 8

Come to Stillness: Take a few minutes to allow your mind and heart to be still before God.

Opening Prayer: Lord, awaken me, you whose love burns beyond the stars; light the flame of my lantern that I may always burn with love. (A Traveler Toward the Dawn by John Eagan)

Scripture Reading for the Day: Ephesians 5:1-21

Reading for Reflection:

Sanctification is an awakening, the rousing of our souls from the dead sleep of sin into the fullness of their capacity for life. (The Sacred Romance by Brent Curtis and John Eldredge)

Reflection and Listening: silent and written

Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself
                                          
Closing Prayer: Almighty God, ever-loving Father, your love was poured forth upon our world from the cross.  As we have come to know the grace of our Lord’s resurrection, grant that, through the power of your Spirit, we may rise with him to new life.  We ask this through the same Jesus Christ your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.  Amen. (The Little Book of Hours)
