You welcome us Lord, as children of your promise:

that the world may be transformed.

#MorningPrayer 

Our journey through life 

is never a bland straight line, Lord,

sometimes drifting, sometimes storm-driven, 

sometimes flat out exciting. 

Thank you that you travel the whole way with us 

and never let us go.

#MorningPrayer 

Lord, with your first disciples 

we yearn that you would teach us to pray.

and to tune our hearts to your love.
