A Prayer for the Forty Seventh Day of Easter

44a.jpg

Resurrection and the Life,

Don't let my praise stop.  On days that are filled with struggle and my heart breaks - don't let my praise stop.   On days that I feel as though I've conquered life's biggest challenges and all is well with the world - don't let my praise stop.  When I turn a blind eye and a cold shoulder to someone in need - don't let my praise stop. When I remember my baptismal call to serve with the heart of Christ - don't let my praise stop.  When I forget and find myself overwhelmed - don't let my praise stop. Through all of my life with all the ups and downs - don't let my praise stop. Don't let my praise stop so that I am always aware of my connection to you, Source of my life.  Don't let my praise stop so that I am also aware of your calling to live in community with others and this world that you have lovingly made.

Through Christ, Amen.
