Monday Afternoon Prayer
Dear God, we are here to express our gratitude for all your blessings. You have given us so much, not only providing what we need to live, but in giving us yourself. We are richly blessed, and it is right to acknowledge that you are the source of all good things. Yet this week also brings a mix of emotions to us. We confess our thanks, but also our sadness because of the empty place at our table. We know that death and sorrow were not your original plan. We also know that you use difficulties and loss to draw us closer to you and to each other. Here and now fill the empty places in our hearts and this empty place at our table. Teach us to savor the moments we have with one another and to rightly remember what we have lost. Thank you for all your blessings, for even through trials and loss you always, somehow reveal your goodness.
In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
