Dearest God
Help us draw closer to you when despair
and its well
feel nearly impossible to crawl out from
Use our breath
Use our minds
Use our words
and especially guide our actions.
May we move from space that is
quiet
centered
and deeply anchored in love
Always love.
Help us as we move through chaos
Bring us back to wholeness.
May we see our inner strength
May we seek justice and truth.
Help us stay grounded, tall, and steady.
When we wobble and waver
bring stillness
pause
and rest
to body, mind, and spirit.
May we seek wholeness from fragmentation
Unity where division tries to grow
trusting in light and wisdom
so much larger than our imagining.
Bring us peace
We have need of you.
Hurry.
God's people
and we are all God's people
need some strength.
Be our companion on this journey
May our paths be true.
Help us celebrate light
the bright pure essence
in each one of us
Your light that continues
to shine in darkness.
Help us see more clearly
Wipe our eyes of violence and rage
to see you
in everyone we meet.
