God who hears all— I come to you and find you are within me… Help me live my days making time to listen.. And as I see candles in front of me, help me see light. Amen.

Mornings
God of mornings, afternoons evenings and nights Help me to know and feel and believe that you are with me in all of times… Shrink my fears and in their absence help me delight. Amen.
In the Silence
Dear God— I pray in the silence. Hear me. Help me as I merge the silence into the noise of the day… And then help me merge back to silence in the night. Amen.
God of Wakefulness
God of wakefulness and energy— Help me fill my day and make the spaces balance out between business and thought serious and silly mundane and above that Amen.
