Psalm 104:27-31

These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season. (Psalm 104:27)
      Father, we too wait for you and your provision for us. Please give us this day’s bread, and because we cannot live by bread alone, please give us this day’s word.

What you give them they gather in; you open your hand, they are filled with good. (Psalm 104:28 )
      Jesus, please open your hand to us so that we will be filled with your good.

You hide your face, they are troubled; you take away their breath, they die and return to their dust. (Psalm 104:29)
      Father, you have hidden your face from the Episcopal Church and it is dying for lack of the breath of your Holy Spirit. Have mercy on us and restore us to new life in you.

You send forth your Spirit, they are created; and you renew the face of the earth. (Psalm 104:30)
      Holy Spirit, come forth upon us in this diocese and renew the face of the earth.

May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in his works. (Psalm 104:31)
      Amen, LORD, give us your blessing.

Graduation invocation

This invocation was just delivered by my husband, Rev. George Woodliff III, at the high school graduation of our daughter.

Father, we invite and invoke Your divine presence at this graduation ceremony and to be with these graduates.
We ask that from this day forward You help them to remember Your Son Jesus and His words:
–As they walk out the door of _____ and through other doors in their lives, help them to remember that Jesus said, “I am the door.”
–As they seek enlightenment through greater knowledge, help them to remember that Jesus said, “I am the light of the world.”
–As they seek their path through life and are tempted by many distractions, help them to remember that Jesus said, “I am the way.”
–As they seek to understand the deeper and ultimate meaning of their lives, help them to remember that Jesus said, “I am the truth.”
–As they seek fulfillment and the pursuit of happiness, help them to remember that Jesus said, “I am the life–abundant and eternal life.”

Father, watch over them, protect, them, provide for them, guard them, guide them, and give them Your grace to enable them to persevere to the end. In Jesus’s name. Amen.
