is in heaven. Give us this day our daily

Creator
God, how we long to experience those mountaintop encounters with you!
When we
have been touched ourselves or have been witnesses to your presence, we
have, like Peter, sought a way to stay and
dwell on the mountain. We know that is
not what you want. We know you want us back in
the world, the world into which
you sent your Son as Savior. As we faithfully
offer our gifts this morning, may they
be used to make your presence known to a
hurting world – not just on mountaintops
or in clouds, but in the day by day world in
which we live. We pray this in the blessed
name of your Holy Son.
