The Grace of Ordinary Things
Angels & Saints: A Modern Book of Common Prayer
Call to Prayer
The sacred is not far off.
It’s in your coffee. Your commute. Your breathing.
God is here, today in the ordinary.
Scripture
Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is in
this place, and I did not know it.”
- Genesis 28:16
Written Prayer
Lord of everything and everywhere, I want to see You today,
not just in church or Scripture, but in errands and email, in dishes
and deadlines.
Don’t let me miss the miracle just because it came dressed in
ordinary clothes.
Confession & Assurance
Confession
I confess I chase after the spectacular.
I overlook the holy moments
that come disguised as Tuesday.
Assurance
God doesn’t wait for big moments to love you.
He meets you in small ones: even here, even now.
Reflection Prompt
Where might God be showing up in something small today?
Prayer from the Saints
“The world is charged with the grandeur of God.”
- Gerard Manley Hopkins
Closing Benediction
Don’t miss the grace hiding in plain sight.
Go slow.
God is near.
I love this Jordan!!
