THIS HOLY GROUND PRAYER WALL
A Sanctuary of Prayer
"Prayers are tools, but with this clarification:
prayers are not tools for doing or getting, but for being and becoming."
—Eugene Peterson
"
So we are drawn into prayer
not by obligation
or by need or by desire,
but by divine Love.
God seeking. God waiting.
God wooing.
God pursuing.
This emphasis upon the loving heart of God
seeking us out is, of course, drawing from
a long and deep biblical tradition about prayer."
- Richard Foster

Lord, hear our prayers!
“You’re familiar with the old written law, ‘Love your friend,’ and its unwritten companion, ‘Hate your enemy.’ I’m
challenging that. I’m telling you to love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer, for then you are working out of your true selves, your
God-created selves. This is what God does. He gives his best—the sun to warm and the rain to nourish—to everyone, regardless: the good and bad, the nice and nasty. If all you do is love the lovable, do you expect a bonus? Anybody can do that. If you simply say hello to those who greet you, do you expect a medal? Any run-of-the-mill sinner does that."
- JESUS (Matthew 5:43-47 MSG)

Loving God, Saving Friend, and Breath of Life,
Help us with the holes in our lives that seem to gut us. Holes that seem to tear at our very integrity. Holes that make us question our very purpose for being. Brokenness that changes us, but does not define us.
You see as each living thing as it is meant to be – You alone create us with purpose and integrity that with You cannot be undone. You always see each one’s true beauty and loving purpose. Your light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.
You walked among us, You remain with us, re-creating, renewing, and restoring. Help us to see with Your eyes that we are more than the broken bits and the gaping holes we know in this life. Help us forgive the ones who give up when we are not what they thought we were. Help us ask You to make us whole. Let our true identity and integrity reflect Your heart’s desire – holes and all.
