May you see angels

 Mark 1:12-13

The Temptation of Jesus

And the Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. He was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels waited on him.

As you face the wilderness today

may you see angels

As you own all that tempts you

may you see angels

As you hunger and thirst

may you see angels 

As you fret about the future

may you see angels

As you wonder what lies ahead

may you see angels

As you confront all that would trip you up

may you see angels

As you weary of grafting

may you see angels

As you surrender control

may you see angels

As you emerge into all that awaits you

may you see angels

waiting on you and ministering to you

at every turn

May you see angels

Make space for angels

Luke 1:34-35

Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I am a virgin?” The angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God.

Making space for angels 

When we are lost in grief

When we long for light

When we cannot see a way to peace

Making space for angels

When we are anxious for loved ones

And for all who suffer

And when we fear for our world

Making space for angels

in the midst of our everyday

For angels disrupt and transform

Angels bring news

and if we make space

we will hear in their song

Good news sent by God

For all the world

Making space for angels
