Sunday Reflection: My simple morning prayer

I've gotten out of the habit of posting on Sundays, mainly because my Sunday mornings are now spent with the Inner City Pastoral Ministry, where we opened worship to 30 participants today, first time since November, and where we are able to provide lunch/snack bags for 200 people (and lots of water in this heat!) thanks to generous donations from over 70 faith communities in our city. It's a very important ministry for the Community of Emmanuel members, who have been asking for worship and prayer since covid restrictions forced us to shut the doors at the end of last year.

My own prayer patterns have changed a lot over the course of the pandemic, but I am taking delight in the evolution of my morning meditation, which now includes this simple prayer that I have shared before, but which has developed its own melody over the last year or so. So this has been my un-moodled "Sunday reflection" since March, as I sing it on my short drive to the Inner City each week before I meet my brothers and sisters there. If you turn on the subtitles, it's easy to sing along. Feel free to use it as you will, or to share it wherever it might be appreciated.
