I originally wrote this prayer for Trinity Sunday at Steinmann Mennonite Church on May 26, 2013.
(Words in italics are from NT Wright, but changed from first person singular to plural.)
Triune God, when we consider who you are
with all of your intricate complexities
We realize how little we understand of you
when we consider the vastness of your creation
when the works of your hands leave us awestruck
we realize how tiny we are to you
what are we that you are mindful of us?
why do you care what happens to us?
and yet, thank you for hearing our prayers
Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth:
Set up your kingdom in our midst.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God:
Have mercy on us, all sinners.
Holy Spirit, breath of the living God:
Renew us and all the world.
All this we pray, Amen.

Everything I write is intended to be part of a conversation, even prayers are conversation with God if we take time to listen. These are beginning thoughts, please join me in the conversation.
