Tuesday Prayer: What words?

Image “Victim” by Dez Pain from rgbstock.com 

Oh, friend,

what words can there be?

another murder in the U.S.

and we try and try and try to push back

to remake our world

to be Your people in a world that makes no sense

sometimes we just have to sit right down and cry.

Sit with us, we beg, surround us

and when it’s time

give a hand up

put your great big arm around us

and help us step forward.

Thank you.
