Luke 8: 40-56 "Christ who notices us"
A prayer, in the form of a collect, based on a bible reading from today's lectionary
A collect based on Luke 8: 40-56 (Click here to read the passage)
Christ who knows us and notices us,
The woman of great faith, who had known much suffering, reached out, touched you, and was made well.
Give us a little of her resilience, to reach out to you, trusting that you will notice and astound us with unimaginable compassion and love.
So, we might discover that what feels like death is only sleeping and our spirit, your Spirit will always return.
Amen.
I hope you find this prayer useful at whatever point in the day you have come across it. Once again the writing of the prayer has felt a bit rushed today which is a shame as I so enjoy having time to sit, pray and reflect on the passage. However, it hope the fact you are reading this means you have a moment in your day to pause, be still and come home to yourself. With peace and best wishes, Steve
Simply thank you.
