“Spirit, Use Me Today.”

Good morning…

I met a humble, hopeful prayer.

P R AY E R by Grahame Davies

Spirit, use me today,
not in some miracle
that would make others marvel
and would make me proud.

Not in the word of wisdom
that would stay in the mind
and make me always remembered.

Not in the heroic act
that would change the world for the better
and me for the worse.

But in the mundane miracles
of honesty and truth
that keep the sky from falling.

In the unremembered quiet words
that keep a soul on the path.

And in the unnoticed acts
that keep the world moving
slowly closer to the light.

(from Lightning Beneath the Sea)

Mundane miracles of honesty and truth. Unremembered words quietly feeding the soul. Unnoticed acts slowly moving us toward the light. Basking in the soothing light of our living Lord, we respond with hope.

God, I have heard you say two things.

One is that power belongs to you, God.

The other is that your love, Lord, never ends.

– Psalm 62:11-12a, NIRV

Grounded in the loving power of God, we live one simple prayer.

“Spirit, use me today.”
