A Summer Prayer
Long warm days...
The pace of life slows...
A time for picnics and rest in the shade...
Lord, help me to rest awhile
in the cooling shade of your presence.
Slow down my restless heart and fill me
with gentle compassion for all your people. Amen.

A Summer Blessing
May you walk with God
This summer
In whatever you do
Wherever you go


Walking with God means...
Walking with honesty
And with courage,
Walking with love
And respect
And concern for the feelings of others


May you talk to God
This summer
And every day and
In every situation


Talking with God means...
Praying words of praise
For the beauty of creation
Saying prayers of thanks
For friends and good times,
Asking God's help
In all your decisions
Expressing sorrow
When you have failed


May you talk with God
Every day. Amen.
