A Prayer 

Make me a burning bush. Consumed by your Holy fire. May I be a surprising encounter, a sign from God amidst the ordinary days.

 So that, God's will can be heard and seen in me.

Make me a cloud by day that I may offer shade from the judgments of noon day heat. Bringing comfort to those in the wilderness. Being evidence that the presence of God is with us even when we walk in dry and difficult places. 

So that, God's compassion can be seen in me.

Make me a pillar of fire that I may show others the way through the dark and desert places. Bringing   light and direction but also warmth when life's journey becomes cold.

So that, God's way can be seen in me.

Make me like the Rock at Meribah  that even in the hard and quarreling moments, I may pour forth refreshment. When I am "struck",  may my response be living waters flowing forth for Your people's sake. 

So that God's goodness can be seen in me. 

May I be counted as one of Your signs and wonders for this age. A living miracle of Your grace.

Amen
