Forces of nature colliding - v2

Forces of nature colliding
fractals, quarks,
explosive by-products,
spinning, shooting out
at sharp angles.

Winds of change,
of movement, of turmoil,
swirling around them,
forces of nature colliding
producing heat.

I offer my water


my living essence
I offer my water
that which is within me
living water
that animates me
I offer my water
my eternal spirit
all that I am
into your hands

Prayers of the People and Lord’s Prayer, Portage Congregational Church, September 22, 2013

Prayers of the People and Lord’s Prayer
September 22, 2013
Portage Congregational Church

Dear Lord –

These are times of great upheaval, of natural disasters, of changes in our weather, times of violence, of war, times of transitions, of our place in this world. We come to you hurting, in pain, needing rest, your peace. We come to you hopeful, knowing you are with us, in all that we face.

We have lifted up those who are in pain, those who are sick; we lift up our nation, the world, all of us. Watch over us Lord, come into each situation, heal us, mend us, we want to be your people.

We come to you waiting, trusting, believing, knowing you will provide, that you will heal us, that we can walk boldly, safe in your arms. Help us when we struggle, when we are anxious even in times of plenty. Guide us back to you, when we stray from your path

We bring our lives to you and we lay our joys, our concerns, our celebrations and our worries at your cross. We trust in You, our Creator and our Savior, your Spirit within us. We pray all these things in the name of our Risen Savior, Jesus Christ,

And we join together with all of Christ’s disciples sharing the prayer that he taught his first disciples, saying. . .

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.  Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread.  And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.  For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. 

Amen.

Prayers of the People

These are times of great upheaval,
of natural disasters,
of changes in our weather,
times of violence, of war,
times of transitions,
of our place in this world.

We come to you hurting,
in pain, needing rest,
your peace, you presence with us.
We come to you hopeful,
knowing you are with us,
in all that we face.

We have lifted up those who are in pain,
those who are sick; we lift up our nation,
the world, all of us.
Watch over us Lord,
come into each situation, heal us,
mend us, we want to be your people.

We come to you waiting,
trusting, believing,
knowing you will provide,
that you will heal us,
that we can walk boldly,
safe in your arms.

Help us when we struggle,
when we are anxious
even in times of plenty.
When we are out in the world
guide us back to you,
when we stray from your path

We bring our lives to you and
we lay our joys, our concerns,
our celebrations and our worries at your cross.
We trust in You, our Creator and our Savior,
your Spirit within us.
We pray all these things
in the name of our Risen Savior, Jesus Christ.

Buried within their soul

The facts, the truth
what he said so true
that the pain was pushed down
buried in their soul

Not coming forward
the pain too great
yet heroes when they were called
standing in the breach

Not all of those who have known this
unwanted touching
many still hidden
in the dark recesses

The facts, the truth
pushed down in the past
open wounds unhealed
when evil stalks the earth

Guided by God’s Love

Something to hold onto
in the words of Christ
the connection of the law
guided by God’s love
the black-letter law
without the spirit
given true meaning
in the walk of Christ

Guided by God’s love
following his commands
humble before our savior
loving our fellow man
offering our witness
our light into the world
doing what we can
to spread his holy word
