Moving Day

"Even so, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near." Luke 21:31

We are embarking on a journey and we have much to do today and tomorrow. All I know to do in times like these is to pray. So here's a prayer for moving day and for all those on a journey.

Dear God,
you formed us in your image and we know your love in our lives,
give us hearts to know your presence today.
Our belongings are scattered and boxed up, but you will not hide from us,
all the day ahead is scary with uncertainty but you are our solid rock.
We face storms and you will calm them.
We face confusion and you will bring peace.
We face our fears and you will comfort us,
hold us like children when lightening strikes.
We have no where to go but to you,
no direction but your guidance,
no love but that which you shower down upon us,
Come loving Creator and be close today, stay with us as we tremble
keep us from all harm to day, since we are nestled in your hands.

In the name of Christ who came for us all
the movers and the travelers, the stay in one place people
and those constantly on the move,
Amen.
