Midweek prayer

Six more weeks of winter weather – or so says the groundhog.  For some this is glorious news while others are fed up already with the cold and snow and ice.  Regardless of what is happening outdoors, God of Wonder, we yearn for warmth and belonging. May we be your ambassadors of inclusion and hospitality.  We know that weather is something we share as your people and so, too is your boundless love. Whether light or dark, warmth or coldness, make us instruments of your grace and mercy and peace.  We pray this in your holiest of names. Amen.
