PRAY NOW: TODAY'S PRAYER
Sky - Horizon
I was there when he set the heavens in place
When he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep.
Proverbs 8:27 (New International Version)

Prayer
Horizon
The moment when earth and heaven meet
Watching the setting sun, waiting until the last ray disappears from view
It’s often achingly hard to let go, to acknowledge endings.
Horizon
The moment when earth and heaven meet
Shrouded in mystery as the mist settles in the distance
We cannot see through the haze and the way ahead is unclear.
Horizon
The moment when earth and heaven meet
Carrying the expectation of the traveller longing for the 'more' of life
Seeking and searching for meaning and purpose.
Horizon
The moment when earth and heaven meet
The sun sets on our day to be greeted by someone else's dawn
Full of hope and fresh beginnings.
Horizon
The moment when earth and heaven meet
We glimpse
You God who comes to us in this revelation
That we can be more
That we are called beyond the boundary of our belief
To a new relationship with you
Readings
Luke 17:24 The Son of Man will light up the sky
Job 26:10 God defines the boundaries
Nehemiah 1:9 The people return from the farthest points
Prayer activity
Spend time looking at the horizon - what do you notice? What do you see? What
does it mean for you? How might looking at the horizon help you to pray?
Prayer for the Church
Those engaged in new, creative ministries and those who faithfully and energetically
serve the parishes of our Lord.
Blessing
Bless to us our dreams and our longings
Bless to us the moments we gaze into the distance
Seeking and searching for the more of life
Bless to us the places where heaven and earth meet
In the horizons of our lives.
