Courage Prayer for Saturday, February 6

 Lord, nineteen years ago this day you gave me courage to push new life into the world, and my beautiful daughter was born.  My labor song was my life is in you Lord, my strength is in you Lord, my hope is in you Lord, in you, in you.  Renew my strength and hope today. Help me labor fiercely and push fearlessly for new life, new justice, new peace to emerge for all your children in all the world, trusting and following the contractions of your Spirit.  Amen.

 --Pastor Karen Slusser

Courage Prayer for Friday, January 22

Dear Lord Jesus: You faced the unknown and fear in so many ways--people with horrible illnesses seeking healing, the hungry, the homeless, the angry, even those possessed of demons. You often found yourself in the midst of angry crowds or among hostile religious leaders seeking to "test" you. Lord, I seek your help. My courage is waning in the face of a pandemic, the personal challenges it has caused, and the national anxiety it has created and fed. 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.                                                                                                              --Pastor Jeff

Courage Prayer for Thursday, February 11

Lord of love and Creator of life, we often fear the unknown.  Hear the quivering of our voices as we cry out to you.  In the unknowns of our short lives, we find ourselves unable to shake off the anxieties of this life.  Give us the strength, the wisdom, and the fortitude to accept your infinitude within finiteness of our lives.  In Christ’s name we pray.  Amen.   - Pastor Chad

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
