Pouring Out the Heart

Scripture Reading

Psalm 62:8

Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. Selah
Reflection
"Pour out your heart" — this is not polished, composed prayer. It is the full weight of what you are carrying, the grief and fear and frustration that you might hesitate to bring into "holy" space. But God is a refuge, which means he can handle everything you bring. Hold nothing back today.
Prayer for Today
Father,
On this day
we give you thanks
for the gift of this child
and his (her) birthday.
We ask your blessing
upon him (her),
that you would keep him (her) safe
for many years to come,
and guide him (her)
in the way of love and mercy,
following the example of your Son
our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Amen.
