The day will surely come.
Steadfast God, hold us in the meantime
that we might not fear the long night.
The time will surely arrive.
Faithful God, give us signs while we wait
until every speck of star and dust is a revelation.
The promise will surely be fulfilled.
Eternal God, plant the seeds within us
even if we die before they bear fruit.
Amen.
Rachel G. Hackenberg‘s book with co-author Martha Spong, Denial Is My Spiritual Practice (and Other Failures of Faith), strives to make sense of faith through the trials & failures of life. Rachel has also written Writing to God and Sacred Pause.
