Daily Office with Reflections by Mo. Rebecca - April 1, 2020

The Daily Office of Morning and Evening Prayer are found in the Book of Common Prayer or online:
Morning                     Evening

Matthew 10:14b: 

“‘Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.” - Jesus 
Never worry about approaching God with your simple prayers and pleas. Our simple, child-like prayers, along with our heartfelt hopes, are all welcomed by God in the same way that Jesus welcomed the little children into his lap. God does not ask or require us to be eloquent or profound or even “mature” in our prayers and approach – and in times of crisis or need, we are stripped of such things anyway. Sometimes all we can muster is a glance heavenward and the words, “help.”  It‘s okay. It is in the simplicity and basics of our human need, trust, and hope that we are most like little children. Approach the throne of God with your simple and heartfelt needs and requests – trusting in the love of God like a parent to a child, and know that you are welcome and beloved, just as you are.   
Be well. This too shall pass. In the meantime we pray.  
In Christ, 

~Rebecca+

I am so Grateful to start my day with Morning Prayer before heading off to work at the Hospital . It fills my cup so I can give to nurses , Dr.s, Patients. My internal selfcare is a must. I trust in my faith that all will be well with the support of daily worship will carry me thru this chaos. As Mark & Rebecca focus on Silence we have no choice but to take time to listen to WHAT Mother Nature and God is telling us in this Global Mess Soo I a trying to Listen and Smile in Faith all will be Well .
Thank you for streaming morning and evening prayers and hymns.
BUT I miss singing and praying with my church family :) Blessings Anne
