August 07, 2013 Lake of Beauty
by Edward Carpenter

Chicago Lake 2011

Let your mind be quiet, realising the beauty of the
world,
  and the immense, the boundless treasures that it holds
in store. 
All that you have within you, all that your heart
desires, 
all that your Nature so specially fits you for  that or the
  counterpart of it waits embedded in the great Whole, for
you. 
  It will surely come to you.
Yet equally surely not one moment before its appointed
time
  will it come. All your crying and fever and reaching out
of 
  hands will make no difference. 
Therefore do not begin that game at all.
Do not recklessly spill the waters of your mind 
  in this direction and in that, 
  lest you become like a spring lost and
  dissipated in the desert.
But draw them together into a little compass, and hold them
  still, so still; 
And let them become clear, so clear – so limpid, so mirror-like;
at last the mountains and the sky shall glass themselves in
  peaceful beauty, 
and the antelope shall to descend to drink and to gaze at her
  reflected image, and the lion to quench his thirst, 
and Love himself shall come and bend over and catch his
  own likeness in you.

July 19, 2013 For People in Severe Pain

Jesus,
you knew pain,
you
knew the loneliness, the weakness
and
the degradation it brings;
you
knew the agony.  
Jesus,
your suffering is the only hope,
the
only reconciliation for those who suffer.  
Be
with us as we grapple with the
pain we suffer now.  
Be
a promise to us that this
present suffering will cease;
be
the hand that we can hold;
be
present, Saviour, for we need you now.

June 26, 2013 For God's Work
Make
us glad, we pray you, gentle God,
to
give each other your loving care;
make
us happy to receive it.
May
there daily grow within us
a
generous, trusting spirit.

Merciful
God,
you
gave your only Son
to
be both a sacrifice for sin
and
an example of godly life;
help
us gladly to receive
all
that he has done for us
and
follow in his footsteps;
through
Jesus Christ our Saviour.

God,
you are working still,
breaking
down and building up;
open
our eyes to discern your hands
so
that we may take our place
as
labourers together with you.
-A New Zealand Prayer Book,
pg. 614

Almighty God, we commend to your gracious care and keeping all the men and women of our armed forces at home and abroad.

April 24, 2013 Morning Prayer, Wednesday

Creator of the universe, infinite and glorious,
you give us laws to save us from our folly;
give us eyes to see your plan unfolding,
your purpose emerging as the world is made;
give us courage to follow the truth
courage to go wherever you lead;
then we shall know blessings beyond our dreams;
then will your will be done.

Almighty and everlasting God,
we thank you that you have brought us safely
to the beginning of this day;
keep us from falling into sin or running into danger,
and guide us to do always what is right in your eyes.

Holy and enabling Spirit,
give wings to our morning prayers.
May those we support and cherish with our love
receive your
grace to help them in their need.
Amen.
