Faithful God of love,
you blessed us with your servant Son
so that we might know how to serve your people
with justice and with mercy.
We gather the needs of ourselves and others,
and offer them to you in faith and love,
seeking to be strengthened by them.

Daily Lectionary Reading, Exodus 17:1-7
Lectio Divina
The people quarreled with Moses, and said, "Give us water to drink." Moses said to them, "Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the Lord?" (Exodus 17:2)
Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!(Psalm 95:7)
Prayer for today:
When we grumble and complain, when we wonder if you, Lord, are with us, when we are not sure that we are headed the right way, when we are tempted to return to the past that has begun to seem better to us, guide us and help us. Give us courage to continue. Give us trust to believe that you still leading us. Give us strength to continue our journey through difficulties. Amen.
