Apollo 8 Peace Prayer
Give us, O God, the vision which can see Your love in the world in spite of human failure. Give us the faith to trust Your goodness in spite of our ignorance and weakness.

I Repent – Eugene Peterson
I repent, Lord. I repent. I have been wrong in supposing that I could manage my own life and be my own god; I have been wrong in thinking I had, or could get, the strength, education and training to make it on my own; I trust that God in Jesus Christ is telling me the truth. I…
Welcoming Sabbath
Lord of Creation, create in us a new rhythm of life composed of hours that sustain rather than stress, of days that deliver rather than tackles. Lord of Liberation, by the rhythm of your truth, set us free from the bondage and baggage that break us, from the Pharaohs and fellows who fail us, from the plans and pursuits that…

Serenity Prayer – Reinhold Niebuhr
God grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot change, The courage to change the things I can, And the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time, Enjoying one moment at a time, Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace, Taking, as you did, this world as it is, Not as I want it,…
Channel Of Your Peace – St Francis Of Assisi
O Lord make me a channel of your peace Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is discord, union; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy; Let me seek not to be consoled, but to console; Not to be understood, but to understand; Not…
My Heart Is Not Proud
My heart is not proud, Lord, My eyes are not arrogant. I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me. But I am calm and quiet Like a child with its mother; like a small child I am content. Israel, put your hope in the Lord both now and forevermore. Amen. – Psalm 131
