Martin Luther Service Prayer
Divine Spirit, be with us as we consider yet again the great questions.
If we reasoning creatures become given over utterly to reason, help us to consider that there might be light to be found beyond reason.

Weather blessing
Through the cycles of new moons and full moons,
we’ve travelled on a myriad of pathways,
through weathers of all the personalities of the Gods.
Snow may have been your playmate or your trickster,

I am shipwrecked in Thy Grace.
May I ever rest with Thee
In this most sacred inner place.
