Prayer & Praise
God of the seasons, God of the years, God of the eons, Alpha and Omega, before us and after us.
You promise and we wait: we wait with eager longing, we wait amid doubt and anxiety, we wait with patience thin and then doubt, and then we take life into our own hands.
We wait because you are the one and the only one.
We wait for your peace and your mercy, for your justice and your good rule.
Give us your spirit that we may wait obediently and with discernment, caringly and without passivity, trustingly and without cynicism, honestly and without utopianism.
Grant that our wait may he appropriate to your coming soon and very soon, soon and not late, late but not too late.
We wait while the world groans in eager longing.

reading the list this morning – praying for souls and bodies and the burdens of our walk in a fallen world – Praise God for His grace and promises of a good end…
Update- no additional fracture
We are at the doctors again now for follow up appt from surgery.
Her main doc wasn’t here, but the Fellows who saw her were kind and did a good job of assessment.
Getting another x-Ray now
the request for “general” for me can be removed
still praying for these requests
