Prayer for the Very Sure

Prayer for the Very Sure - Week of November 21, 2022

Lover of the Fallible, the Imperfect, and the Fearful-of-Being-Found-Not-Enough,  invite us again to put down the posturing and lean into the reality of our enoughness without perfection, our lovableness without needing to know everything, our belonging without needing to never make mistakes, for behind all these expectations of self and by others lies our need to be VERY SURE. Lover of Life, you offer us every day lessons in mystery and limitations, in not knowing and not yet, and still we often don’t want to or feel we cannot learn how to be in this zone of unsureness, instability, and changing awareness. Also, we might be exhausted from all that we’re already enduring and maybe could use fewer lessons? Might that be possible? May we have friends to be shoulder to shoulder with, comforting rituals that center and connect us to life’s goodness, and the tools and courage to stay present to what is, as it is unfolding and here we are, actually not being sure and not reaching to claim that. Amen.
