Courage Prayer for Saturday, February 13

 Lord,  I need your courage to resist my deep urge to smooth over holy tension ~ in myself, and in your church.  I need your courage to step out of my conversational comfort zones.  Jesus, you are resurrection and life. Call me out when I settle for less than the fullness of life you came to bring us all. In your strong name, Amen. -Pastor Karen

Courage Prayer for Friday, January 15

Dear God of Justice, Peace, Grace, and Love: we, your people, pray for strength and courage in the light of threats against our safety and the security of our national "community."

Prompt me regularly to carve out the time in my busy existence to "come away and pray" like you did to both restore your courage and your strength to face the "storm." In your most precious name I pray. Amen.                                                                                    ...
