Come to Stillness: Take a few minutes to allow your mind and heart to
be still before God.
Opening Prayer: Lord God, give me open hands and not clenched
fists as I walk with you and for you in the midst of this day— that I might be
able to live with a true sense of freedom from the need to grasp desperately
for love and value from those I come into contact with. For Jesus’ sake. Amen.
Scripture Reading for the Day: Psalm 63:1-8
Reading for Reflection:
Prayer is the outgrowth
of both silence and solitude. In silence
we let go of our manipulative control.
In solitude we face up to what we are in the depths of our being. Prayer then becomes the offering of who we
are to God: the giving of that broken, unclean, grasping, manipulative self to
God for the work of God’s grace in our lives. (Invitation to a Journey
by M. Robert Mulholland)
Reflection and Listening: silent and written
Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself

Closing Prayer: Come, bless the Lord, all you servants of the
Lord, who stand by night in the house of the Lord! Lift up your hands to the holy place and
bless the Lord! May the Lord bless you
from Zion, he who made heaven and earth!
Amen. (Psalm 134)
