Friday Writing Prompt -Worship

In Worship, we can discern God's will for us.  Rest in Him and He will show us His Way.

"Come Holy Spirit, as we discern your desire for us, light our path on the way you have set our hearts upon.  Guard us on our journey that we may not be distracted in our efforts as we endeavor to discover Your Will for us.

As many before us have joined in a Rule of Order, so help us to unite more closely to the rules you long for us to embrace. Guide our way with your light, guardianship and statutes for living so that we may see others as you see them.  Lift us up with deep affection so that we may be vessels of your love.

Lord, cast a light on us and lead us on our way.

Amen

Today's poetry


The Suitcase on the Bed


Coming or going,

It all looks the same.

Empty bed, unshared.

One suitcase with keepsakes.


My worldly possessions

Trimmed to nothing. 

If I could, the suitcase would

Become a backpack.


Freedom from the weight 

Of this unshared bed.

Possessions behind me.

Great expectations ahead.
