Midweek Prayer:

Summer has officially arrived and with it the fullness of life all around us. Creator God, help us learn the lessons from the birds who sing, whether it is sunny or not. Let the sunflowers teach us that it is always a good idea to lean toward the light. May the sweetness of strawberries remind us to savor each bite of life. And from the sky full of stars, may we know we are blanketed in a shared creation that still can fill us with awe and wonder. In your abiding presence, we pray. Amen.
