Luke 18: 1-14 "Do not lose heart"
A prayer, in the form of a collect, based on a bible reading for today.
A collect based on Luke 18: 1-14
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
Our prayers, (all prayers?), can seem like words thrown against a wall of silence, bouncing back to taunt and haunt us.
But when we stand back and reach out with eyes cast down, then, beneath the heart of each situation, we discover God, listening.
God hears, because God is. And we are, because God is, even when we think we are not.
Do not lose heart. Amen.
I hope you find this a helpful prayer for you today. Today’s artwork is called “Pride goeth before destruction” (Proverbs 16:18) and is by the Austrian artist Arik Brauer. You can find our more HERE
Thank you for reading. With peace and best wishes, Steve.
