DAY 32: WEDNESDAY JUNE 3: Presence Prayer: Relax and breathe. Breathe out tension; breathe in peace. Turn your attention to God’s presence with you. Think of it as being with someone who loves you unconditionally. Someone you are relaxed with. Someone you don’t need to talk to in order to feel comfortable with. Perhaps a loving parent or grandparent. Feel the love and warmth surround you. Lift up our church’s ministries and all the people who have used their gifts for God at Sax UMC. Pray that they might know they are loved unconditionally—not because of what they do but because of who they are and who God made them to be.

DAY 31: TUESDAY JUNE 2: As you enter into God’s presence, give thanks for the gift of God’s church. Recall how God brought you to Sax UMC. What people and places and events were important in drawing you in and helping you find a place here? Ask God to help you do that for someone else.

DAY 30: MONDAY JUNE 1: “Play Date” with God: Read Phil. 4:4-7. What is “play” for you? Go do it and invite God along. Feel God’s joy. As children of God, we can be with God in healthy play. Pray about bringing that sense of joy and play to our rebuilt church. Give thanks for what God has mightily provided!

It's the start of another week of intentional daily congregational prayer as we work toward a full reopening! "This week's theme is God's story and ours" and today's prayer is: DAY 29: SUNDAY MAY 31: Adoration and Praise: In prayer, recall moments you knew of God’s love for you. Have you ever experienced God’s love through someone at Sax UMC? Give thanks for all the ways God has poured love into your life. Pray prayer of St. Francis: Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

DAY 24: TUESDAY MAY 27: Read Luke 38-42. Pray today about worries and burdens that are preventing you from seeking the kingdom of God. Give them to God to handle today. Put them in “God’s inbox.”
