Prayer on Feeling



Creator God,
This morning we come before you to offer up our yesterday and to give thanks for the potential of today.
We pause to remember yesterday...
We remember our feelings through the day:
...we faced sadness...
...we felt disappointment...
...we were disgusted...
...we were scared...
...we were surprised...
...we were glad...    ...we let go of these feelings and give them to you.
We pray this morning for all people and all creation and all the feelings they hold:
...for those who are sad... disappointed... disgusted... scared....surprised...glad...

May we look to this day with gladness; a gift from you.  With Your gladness, may we gladden the world around us, by daring to enter into the feelings of others. Your grace and love be present as we seek to build relationships for the healing of the world.
AMEN.

Please feel free to use this prayer or other items you find on this blog.  I would be interested though in a quick comment saying that it was used, or remade, or what ideas may have been spurred from what has been read here.
