A batch of newspaper blackout poems.
King of kings We bring you our gold: our prosperity our possessions our productivity We bring you our frankincense: our worship our reverence our prayers We bring you our myrrh: our brokenness our grave clothes our dust Yet, you welcome even more Redeem even more So we bring it all Give our all For we are your treasure ~ Epiphany Prayer by Lisa Degrenia Happy Epiphany, dear ones.

It's time for a new series! I'm bringing together two things dear to me, breath prayers and old school hymns, in hopes of creating something simple to help you connect to God. Here's how I'm using it. I'm reading the text of the hymn as a prayer and then continuing to pray short responses based on themes from the text. Sometimes a phrase on the breath in and the breath out. Sometimes only on the breath in or the breath out. Choose just one, several, or all. Repeat a breath prayer as many times as you need. I find it helpful to pause between breath prayers. Let's start with a classic- Breathe on Me, Breath of God by Edwin Hatch. What breath prayer would you write? 1. Breathe on me, Breath of God, fill me with life anew, that I may love what thou dost love, and do what thou wouldst do. 2. Breathe on me, Breath of God, until my heart is pure, until with thee I will one will, to do and to endure. 3. Breathe on me, Breath of God, till I am wholly thine, till all this earthly part of me glows with thy fire divine. 4. Breathe on me, Breath of God, so shall I never die, but live with thee the perfect life of thine eternity. IN: OUT: Breathe on me, breath of God IN: OUT: Fill me with life IN: OUT: to love what you love IN: OUT: to do and to endure IN: OUT: I am yours IN: OUT: Come, Fire Divine IN: OUT: With you forever #breathprayers #breathprayer #justbreathe #talktoGod #pandemicprayers #soulcare #encounteringgod #spiritualpractice #mindfulnesspractice #spiritualdiscipline #meansofgrace #talkingtoGod #listeningtogod #godisnear #christianspirituality #slowlivingforlife #restingingod #restingod #trustgod #christianprayer #prayerlife #spirituallife #prayerpractice (at Sarasota, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEEhS4rFVh4/?igshid=1l83p44ghrdte
Sometimes, I hold on too tight. I cling. I grasp. I try to bear the weight and responsibility by myself. I convince myself this is the price of being responsible, a sacrifice of parenting, pastoring, or privilege. More often, I'm playing god. I want to be the hero. The savior. I want to be in control. Unhealthy pride is sneaky. It severs and separates. I need these prayers to re-member. It doesn't mean I don't have a part to play, even a sacrificial part or an upfront part. It means I'm not a solo heroic leader. I'm open, listening, and ready for God's leading and empowering. I recognize I'm part of something and Someone greater. God, I trust you with... God, I surrender... How would you finish the sentences? God, I trust you with my family. God, I trust you with my future. God, I trust you with all who are grieving, suffering, in need of answers, justice, and hope. God, I surrender the decisions I need to make today. God, I surrender my desire to write a book. God, I surrender my congregation. It's your church, not mine. #sentenceprayers #talktoGod #pandemicprayers #soulcare #encounteringgod #spiritualpractice #mindfulnesspractice #spiritualdiscipline #meansofgrace #talkingtoGod #listeningtogod #godisnear #christianspirituality #slowlivingforlife #restingingod #restingod #trustgod #christianprayer #prayerlife #spirituallife #prayerpractice (at Sarasota, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDThMhXlXDU/?igshid=p810cwi2atrp
This is one of my favorite prayers. It centers me on God's steadfast provision and presence instead of my long laundry list of needs. How would you finish the sentence? Finish it again and again and again. Here's mine for today- God, grant me the grace of clarity God, grant me the grace of grounding God, grant me the grace of wisdom God, grant me the grace of hope God, grant me the grace of persevering #godsgrace #godprovides #sentenceprayers #talktoGod #pandemicprayers #soulcare #encounteringgod #spiritualpractice #mindfulnesspractice #spiritualdiscipline #meansofgrace #talkingtoGod #listeningtogod #godisnear #christianspirituality #slowlivingforlife #restingingod #restingod #trustgod #christianprayer #prayerlife #spirituallife #prayerpractice (at Sarasota, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDBvq0gFIjT/?igshid=v27sskum90lc

How do you understand God? a puppet master, pulling all the strings? a mighty sovereign, imposing rules and plans? I see God as a gracious host Opening doors, offering gifts We can accept the invitation and opportunity Or not God, I welcome... This prayer is your "yes" to God's presence and presents How would you finish the sentence? Leave your answer in the comments. Here's mine for today. God, I welcome the wisdom of black voices God, I welcome the blessings of nature and music God, I welcome your grace and rest You are near. You are working for my good and the good of all. God, I welcome what you place in my hands Every small or extravagant opportunity #openness #sentenceprayers #talktoGod #pandemicprayers #soulcare #encounteringgod #spiritualpractice #mindfulnesspractice #spiritualdiscipline #meansofgrace #talkingtoGod #listeningtogod #godisnear #christianspirituality #slowlivingforlife #restingingod #restingod #trustgod #christianprayer #prayerlife #spirituallife #prayerpractice #godsgift #godsblessings (at Sarasota, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB5jWKAFjnL/?igshid=11e5l9q7yq8k3
