A Summertime Prayer
Father, Creator of all, thank You for summer! Thank you for the warmth of the sun and the increased daylight. Thank You for the beauty I see all around me and for the opportunity to be outside and enjoy Your creation. Thank You for the increased time I have to be with my friends and family, and for the more casual pace of the summer season. Draw me closer to You this summer. Teach me how I can pray no matter where I am or what I am doing. Warm my soul with the awareness of Your presence and light my path with Your Word and Counsel. As I enjoy Your creation, create in me a pure heart and a hunger and a thirst for You. Amen.
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. – Author unknown
A Summer Blessing
May you walk with God this summer in whatever you do and 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. – Author unknown
