Prayer for the Week: There are signs and wonders and miracles all around us! Faith invites us to connect such happenings to you, O God whose love is powerful and transformative. Yet what keeps us from naming such signs and wonders and miracles is a skewed perception that requires someone standing from a wheelchair or dancing away from crutches. For this reason, we unknowingly disregard the simple, but beautiful signs and wonders and miracles that emerge from daily life. The single parent who is doing an amazing job of raising children, working and modeling goodness and grace along the way; the teacher who is underpaid in a district that doesn’t provide the needed resources, yet is able to inspire a zest for learning; the ever so quiet church goer who, with no fanfare, is working with homeless veterans; the family who ached for the needs of a young woman and invited her into their home. These are the signs and wonders and miracles that are rooted in your powerful and transformative love that kindles the behind the scenes work that is shaping the world toward your vision. Thank you, O Gracious God, for continuing to inspire us when our eyes and ears and hearts are open. Amen.
