Prayer for America 08/02/06



Every day, people walk the beaches, leaving winding trails of footprints in the sand. And every day without fail, you cause the waves to wash ashore and smooth the signs away, taking all traces of turmoil with them as the water swirls and eddies back into the ocean. What remains are ripples in the damp sand, as though you, Lord, had signed your work for us to see.

Maybe praying is like that. Maybe spending a little time with you once or twice a day can help smooth over the troubles in our lives and wash away the turmoil. Maybe if we take time to listen, we'll hear your voice as you speak, feel your love more deeply, see your sings more clearly.

Lord, help us make the time to draw close to you in prayer so you can smooth the sands of our lives.
