Morning Music Moment
Weekday morning prayers to practice beginning each day with gratitude. Brief (2-3 minutes) and normally inspired by a song verse.
Some say that God rather more sung (than spoke) the universe into existence.. We (still) hear echoes of that tune, which we have never heard (ref C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory).
I once heard that no good thing is lost in heaven, which maybe offers some hope that we will receive back the music and songs that were loved, and hear them again in heaven. Though like us, corrected and perfected.

Good morning family, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen. But the voice of truth tells me a different story. The voice of truth says do not be afraid. Jesus, the way, the truth and the life. Thank you for the great gift of life this morning and for the hope and promise of eternal life. Thank you for listening to my grumbling and I'm ashamed of it and I should know better, and I struggle with it.
Speaker 1:Please help each of us with the many things that trouble us and distract us from you, things we cannot just be okay with and are tempted to so much resentment and tempted to just avoid or muddle about in resignation and protest. Thank you for being God of the mountains of glory, of beauty and majesty and victories and joys. Thank you for being God of the valleys and struggles and darkness and doubts. The devil puts so many lies into our hearts and there are so many stories that I tell myself that replay in my head about that thing and that person and that situation, and even about this person who is myself, and especially about this person who is you, jesus, please do not leave us wavering in the balance between your truth and the devil's lies, as if it is a narrow choice or a chance on which way we will lean. Everything depends on you, and you are faithful. Thank you for being the rock on which we can stand and a strong fortress and shelter during storms.
Speaker 1:Emmanuel, god with us, thank you for being with us again today. Remind us that you are with us and for us. Help us to be with you today, to be reconciled and refocused on you and to give you our hearts and minds and souls and strength to bring our faith and trust and love and patience, however little, for you to work with and multiply, and beyond all hope or deserving, please pour out your divine comfort and help and healing to everyone who is greatly afflicted today, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. I love you so much.
