God's Love Prayers

Prayer to an Evolutionary God

You accept us--at times of self-doubt

Thank you, God of all,

Co-creator of our world,

For allowing us to be imperfectly made:

Because it makes us, if we are wise, forgiving.

Do you accept us as we are?

We condemn people too quickly:

We judge them for flawed thinking, disguised egotism,

Unworthy acquisitiveness, or skewed opinions.

But we can forgive them once we accept our own shadow,

And realize how well we ourselves fit

Into the ranks of a less than perfect human race.

You, Holy God, accept each of us,

Prophets tell us, just as we are:

Provided our moral judgments of others

Are reciprocally generous and compassionate.

Imperfection fits this evolving reality,

For the universe thrives on diversity,

Including random failure,

One of the very preconditions for the unfolding advances.

May it be so.

- William Cleary

Sublime Beauty

Dear God, please reveal to us

your sublime beauty

that is everywhere, everywhere, everywhere

so that we will never again

feel frightened.

My divine love, my love,

Please let us touch

your face.

- St. Francis of Assisi

A Prayer for Resting in God's Love

God of Goodness, I come into your presence so aware of my human frailty and yet overwhelmed by your love for me. I thank you that there is no human experience that I might walk through where your love cannot reach me. If I climb the highest mountain you are there and yet if I find myself in the darkest valley of my life, you are there.

Teach me today to love you more.

Help me to rest in that love that asks nothing more than the simple trusting heart of a child.

In one sense we are always traveling, and traveling as if we did not know where we are going.

In another sense we have already arrived.

We cannot arrive at the perfect possession of God in this life, and that is why we are traveling and we travel in darkness. But we already possess God by grace, and therefore, in that sense, we have arrived and are dwelling in the light. But oh! How far have I to go to find You in Whom I have already arrived!

- Thomas Merton, "Dialogues with Silence"

In The Name of Love In the Name of Love, we have come.

In the Name of Love, we are here.

And, in the Name of Love we will go.

Knowing in our Hearts and in our Souls

that what we have experienced is truly Divine. - Dennis Yount (Died of AIDS in the early 1990s) Back to Top Special People We thank you, O God,

For those people who are channels of your love in our lives:

For those who gave us birth,

And, in the weakness of our infancy,

Sheltered, nurtured, and treasured us.

For those who taught us to walk,

To talk and to explore tastes, smells, sounds,

And affirmed our strengths,

And the friends young and old

Who share our tears and laughter.

We thank you, Lord,

For the people of strong faith

Who stretch out minds and enlarge our capacity

To explore and understand your ways.

For those at every stage of our journey

Who teach us trust by trusting us,

Who enable us to love others

Through the experience of being loved.

We thank you for those very sincere people

Who have demonstrated the joys and disciplines

Of the kingdom of God,

And especially people who taught us to love you,

Rather than to be afraid of you.

God of love, God of Jesus,

For these healing experiences of growth and loving,

And for the knowledge that the best is yet to come,

We praise your holy name:
