A thought for today,

Living God, we live in a world where many doubt. We bring to you those who doubt because no one has ever shown them the love of Jesus. Risen Christ, breathe your Spirit of peace.

We bring to you those who doubt because the circumstances of their lives just don’t hold any sign of a God of love. Risen Christ, breathe your Spirit of peace.

We bring to you those who doubt because they have been hurt or let down by others or have never learned to trust. Risen Christ, breathe your Spirit of peace.

We bring to you those who doubt because war or natural disaster has destroyed them or those they love, especially…   

Risen Christ, breathe your Spirit of peace.

We bring to you those who doubt because they are in pain of body, mind, or spirit.

Risen Christ, breathe your Spirit of peace.

We bring to you all who doubt your love for whatever reason: shine your resurrection light in their lives. Risen Christ, breathe your Spirit of peace.

Living God, we bring you all our prayers, spoken and silent, through the power of Christ’s new life.  Amen.
