Wednesday: God of the Sparrow

God of the sparrow, God of the whale,
God of the swirling stars
How does the creature say Awe?
How does the creature say praise…

You are God of the Sparrow, and….

Alligator, bison, crane, dolphin, elephants, finch, giraffe, hippopotamus, Imu, Jackle, kangaroo, lemur, moose, nightingale, octopus, porcupine, Quadrate Pebblesnail, racoon, skunk, tiger, vulture, wallaby, yak and Zebra!

God of sun, God of rain, God of everything,
illuminate us, and make us shine.
Give us grace to find solutions in the chaos of life,
give us courage to find you as we look upon your earth.
Help us to hear your cry in the wilderness and act with boldness.

As we walk together in your Spirit, grace us with your light, and embolden our courage to live in the way that Jesus taught.

Together we pray the prayer of Jesus

Our Father,
who art in Heaven,
hallowed by your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our sin,
as we forgive those who sin against us.
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil,
for thine is the kingdom,
the power, and the glory forever.

Amen
