Prayer For Wonderment Alongside Brokenness

A Prayer For Wonderment Alongside Brokenness

Gracious Love, may we pray ever for the wow and wonderment when we meet loss, challenges, and these judgments called brokenness. What are we breaking into? What are we remaking as? When we ravel and ravel and ravel into new fibres, shapes, colors, dreams made real with each breath and each stitch, may we do so with all the wonderment fit for ushering new life into being, for welcoming beginnings and endings and more beginnings. Gracious Love, may we grow less afraid of our hearts breaking, because we are still yet surrounded by a flowing tide of love, and we have that love’s history and stories written into our bodyminds, part of us even in leavetaking and letting go. Gracious Love, may we grow less afraid of our hearts breaking and let them break open, let the flood of tears and sorrows flow forth, no longer locked away, but washing us clean, preparing us to meet some day like the dawn after a stormy night, wet and marshy, bent over and still rooted, still here and growing in wonderment and love. Gracious Love, bless us in finding and noticing and breathing the wow in the breaking spaces of our lives and from this, may we find the next rhythm, the next beat to box, the next dance to pop and snap and shimmy and groove with this astounding life. Amen.
