Sunday, July 9
This week, as we continue our focus on prayer this summer, we are going to pray our way through a hymn. “This Is My Song,” is found in our Glory to God hymnal. It’s a powerful hymn to sit with this week around the July 4th holiday. It was written between WWI and WWII and focuses around the theme of international peace. Each day this week I will pair some of the hymn with a prayer from different voices I have encountered in my own devotional space. I hope this hymn and these prayers connect with you this week.
“So hear my prayer, O God of all the nations: myself I give thee; let thy will be done.”
Prayer: “Give me the listening ear. I seek this day the ear that will not shrink from the word that challenges me to deeper consecration and higher resolve – the word that lays bare needs that make my own days uneasy, that seizes upon every good decent impulse of my nature, channeling it into paths of healing in the lives of others.” Amen.
-Rev. Howard Thurman
