Prayer for the Weary

Prayer for the Weary - Week of November 14, 2022

Lover of the Broken-hearted, the Weary, and the Down-trodden, give us space to breathe today, to breathe with peace and freedom from terror and fear, to breathe with wonderment and freedom from others’ rage, to breathe with gratitude and freedom from being watched or controlled. Give us space to breathe today and find refuge, co-creating it along with others who are broken-hearted, knitting it together one kindness and needed meal at a time, raising up the space to be as we are, whole and holy, as we are. Give us space to take, make, and insist on places to rest, to nurture and be nurtured, to welcome and be welcomed, to have room for all that is and was and not need to turn toward what will be, to exist in the moment of not knowing and not yet and still enough. Lover of us all, invite us to bless our own healing and each other’s and keep on with all the feelings, all the messiness, all the unfinished and not yets, and all that is still wondrous and gracious and good. Amen.
