Almighty God,
we are not a patient people.
We are a doing people.
Waiting is not our forte.
We are tired of waiting for … Read More

Thursday Prayer: for those waiting
Dear God, We have words of tradition, asking you to watch other those who work, or watch or weep. This prayer is for those who are waiting, for those who are pacing, for those who are frozen still, for those who are having all the feelings, and for those who are numb. This is a… Read More
Wednesday Prayer
Generous God, as life expands, as we set aside the routines of the past year, and learn new ones, we give thanks for all the places of new opening… around us, and within us.

Wednesday Prayer

The Righteous One has been vilified so that the white devil might slip away. Weep and shout, O Distrusted! Read More
Saturday Prayer: Scattered and broken
Oh Holy One, We are broken and scattered. Our hearts are crushed. We see the debris of lives before us, tossed about with indifference and violence. We see the carnage of prejudice and bigotry. We are grieving. We stare at the broken bodies, the tearful families, the aches that cannot be eased, the posturing and… Read More
