God, please teach us how to pray
With our vote
With our wallets
With our masks
With our bodies
With our work
God, please teach us how to pray
Through the fear
Through the struggle
Through the injustice
Through the hate
Through the complacency
God, please teach us how to pray
In love
For love
Offering love
Embodying love
Increasing love
God, please teach us how to pray
And please, teach us how to listen for your response.
Amen.
