Here’s a
prayer for Transfiguration Sunday from Christine Jerrett. It was posted on her
blog (see below for link).
Prayer:
You Come to Us in the Broken Places
God of
glory,
you took
your friends with you
when you
went to pray on the mountain.
You
revealed to them
the glory
of Jesus,
your
beloved Son,
on his
way to the cross.
We do not
live on mountaintops,
but we,
too, would glimpse your glory
in the
ordinary days of our lives,
and in
the community of your Son
in which
you have chosen to dwell.
We look
for you among people who have
no power
no rights
no voice.
We look
for you among those who
live on
the streets of our city,
whose
housing is inadequate,
whose
homes are not safe.
We look
for you among those who
grieve a
past that is no more
and fear
a future that seems full of loss.
God who
meets us
in the
broken places,
shine the
light of Christ deep into our lives,
so we may
carry that light into dark places
and point
to the One
whose brokenness
is our salvation.
