Tenacious God, You’ve said “be strong and courageous.” And here we are with quivering hearts, apprehensive about what needs to happen. Do we really need to use our shaking voices?

Tuesday Prayer
Spirit if God who hovered over the earth at the dawn of creation- Our environment is standing up to us. Python-like teeth of tornadoes are ripping into buildings.

Tuesday Prayer
Divine Mirror- Reflect back to me the person you want me to see. Reflect back to me my true image- not the one I’m imagining in my head. Encourage me to hold up your true mirror to your children I meet along the way. May they see a portrait of authenticity staring back at them.… Read More

God of the Heavy Hearts, As the reminder of my friend’s birthday comes across my feed, my heart still stings from her passing – even now years after her death. How I would like to call her to catch up on life or introduce her to my partner! How much would I like to have… Read More
