Great Pentecost Sunday - eight members joined the church, we had a delightful visit from three seminary students from the Pacific Northwest Conference and our choir absolutely rocked “Every time I Feel the Spirit”

Resurrecting God, Easter leaves me breathless. Easter leaves me speechless and hopeful, eager and awestruck. Easter tethers my wandering heart to you, as only awe can. So may every other moment of awe bring me back to you as well. May every starry night, first step, flower in spring, and sunrise bring me back to you—like muscle memory. I am speechless and hopeful, eager and awestruck. What a gift it is to be alive. Amen.

Gracious God, my wandering heart loves to flee. How many times have I run when the conversation got hard? How many times have I shied away from the truth because it was painful? Like a parent with a child, scoop me back up and bring me close to your heart again. Give me the courage to stay, to talk, to listen, and to change when needed. Humbly I pray, amen.

Jesus of the garden, you know what lament feels like. You know what grief looks like. You know what praying through the night sounds like. So today I bring you my prayers of lament. See the cracks in my heart that weigh heavily on me. See the places where I carry grief. Hear my cries in the garden in the middle of the night and meet me here. Be my comfort. Be my sun after the night. Amen.

Gracious God, the words, “prone to leave the God I love” crack my heart in two. For try as I might, the truth of my life is clear. I will leave. I will deny. I will fall asleep. I will run and hide. Forgive me for leaving when love is so close. Forgive me for allowing fear to win. Forgive this wandering heart of mine for wandering away. Bring me back. Amen.

Holy God, not a day passes when I do not wish to know you better. Not a day passes when I do not wish to catch a glimpse of you in my midst. Like the desert longs for water, so I long for you. So today I pray: rain down on me. Rain down on me with streams of mercy. Wash not only my feet, but my head and my hands as well. Amen.

Jesus of Nazareth, we live in a world that has declared “no religion at the dinner table.” In that same spirit of compartmentalization, I am guilty of keeping my faith tucked away, a private devotion for quiet moments. That is not the way I want to live. This love was never meant to be quiet. This love was meant to be told, celebrated, shared, and spread. So when the c**k crows in my own life, let me speak with conviction. Amen.
