A Prayer for Journey

God of journey, as we travel on

alert us to things that matter

and open our eyes to every sign of your presence.

Give us a sense of direction,

or at least a sense of purpose,

a sense of wonder,

a sense that in everything

you are walking with us step by step

gently guiding us to the heart of things.

The Blessing of Grace

May God give you the grace never to sell yourself short;

Grace to risk something big for something good; and

Grace to remember the world is now

too dangerous for anything but the truth and

too small for anything but love.

Email Delia HERE to let us know we could count on your participation.
