About this book
Short daily readings for the whole year. Short because sometimes it feels like the world is so crowded with words that it is difficult to focus on the Word. A book for those who feel themselves travelling at an increasingly frantic pace each day, and are hungry for snatches of nourishment to feed their souls.

International Workers’ Day
May the earthly, everyday things
such as stables and mangers, offices and garages
be filled with a new glory
because of Jesus, who was born in a manger and worked at a bench,
Jesus who now works through his children.
Ian Cowie, from Prayers and Ideas for Healing Services

God is my lollipop lady:
I am safe with her.
She sees me across the busy junction
to find a safe place to relax.
She restores my faith in humanity
as she helps me to choose
the right time and place to cross.
Janet Lees, from Word of Mouth

God of the dispossessed,

who is now without a home

In joy and sorrow,
in gain and loss,
in despair and hope,

Wash me clean, God.
Forget the sprinkling with gentle showers
Tip a bucket of your forgiveness over me
Tumble me in the waves of your mercy
Drench me in the sea of your love.
Ruth Burgess, from Praying for the Dawn

There is a very old legend, and all legends that persist speak truth, concerning the return of the Lord Jesus Christ to heaven after His Ascension.
It is said that the angel Gabriel met Him at the gates of the city.
‘Lord, this is a great salvation that Thou hast wrought,’ said the angel.
But the Lord Jesus only said, ‘Yes.’
‘What plans hast Thou made for carrying on the work? How are all men to know what Thou hast done?’ asked Gabriel.
‘I left Peter and James and John and Martha and Mary to tell their friends, and their friends to tell their friends, till all the world should know.’
‘But, Lord Jesus,’ said Gabriel, ‘suppose Peter is too busy with his nets, or Martha with her housework, or the friends they tell are too occupied, and forget to tell their friends – what then?’
The Lord Jesus did not answer at once; then He said in His quiet, wonderful voice: ‘I have not made any other plans. I am counting on them.’
George MacLeod, from Daily Readings with George MacLeod

As the dry stane walls
enfold the fields,
enfold us, O God.
Kate Mcllhagga, from The Green Heart of the Snowdrop

Great Spirit,
you are the answer to all of this world’s yearning.
So will you come in power,
and will you come in peace,
and will you take up your living somewhere deep inside of me?
Glendon Macaulay, from Dirt, Mess and Danger
May 13
God of life,
forgive us for dealing in death
as we turn our back on our neighbours
and once again sink into the apathy
of dried-up religion.
As we take our next breath
may it be a holy inspiration
which fires us up to come out of our tombs
and live the life of your kin and kingdom.
Janet Lees, from Word of Mouth

World Migratory Bird Day
Go gently, my friends:
feel the good earth
beneath your feet,
celebrate the rising of the sun,
listen to the birds at dawn,
walk gently under
the silent stars,
knowing you are on holy ground
held in love –
in the wonder of God’s creation.
Peter Millar, from 50 New Prayers from the Iona Community
