    Misplaced & Remade | A Prayer for Election Day

    November 8, 2016November 8, 2016

    God of every country, of every nation, of every land; We come to you this morning with our hearts in our hands. We woke anxious, slept uneasy, and rise to meet the day with worry tucked inside our chests.   We are not a people of easy trust, and yet, we find we have placed

    To be Remade | A Prayer

    July 7, 2016July 7, 2016

    Lord, terror is all around us. As the blood pools in the streets and on the driver’s seat we find fear and fight are swelling in our bellies. We look at our hands, at this kingdom of man and note how very unlike You we are. We Christian bear Your name, but we have yet to rightly

    Our Memories are Short | A Prayer

    June 29, 2016June 29, 2016

    We wake early … or late. We rest easy … or restless. We make coffee … and breakfast and plans and petitions. Our requests before You are quaint, at best. We ask to secure and protect and retain and gather in. Grateful for privilege, and then grappling for more good and hording it. We ask

    To Grieve with Orlando | A Prayer

    June 14, 2016June 14, 2016

    We are a people of lost lament.   Pain rips at our chests, loss punctures our hearts. These dark days it seems that violence and death punctuate our communal calendar. We ache for peace, we long for restoration. We miss those we lost, we hate those who took them.   And in the midst of our pain,

    You All Along | A Prayer

    May 19, 2016May 19, 2016

    You behind. You before. You all around and on every side and in every crevice. We’re swimming in a sea of You and yet find the joy of child-like play on Your shores. Deep enough to never plumb the depths, safe enough to come in our youth and innocence and feeble ways. We find You

    A Waiting People | A Prayer

    April 29, 2016May 18, 2016

    We are a world of waiting people. Waiting for the bus. Waiting for the next available teller. Waiting for them to find a cure. Waiting for the light to turn green. And we are not a patient people. We tap our feet fumble with our keys and roll our eyes to hurry you along because

    Familiar Names | A Prayer

    April 15, 2016May 18, 2016

    God of the world of unknown mysteries… God of the realm tucked deeply behind that horizon… God of the land yet untread on this journey… God of our home still seen, We seem not to know you well. We call you by familiar names, names of dominance and triumph and victory, but we know little

    Alive Indeed | A Prayer for Easter

    March 27, 2016May 18, 2016

    Christ has risen! “Indeed,” we cry routinely enough. Christ has risen indeed. On this cold, pale blue morning we recite our affectionate gratitude for Your plans beyond our expectations for Your life beyond the grave for Your promises beyond our hope. The morning scene is serene enough to sentimentalize us, and for even this we are

    Grace to Believe | A Sunday Morning Prayer

    February 28, 2016May 18, 2016

    The orations roll off our tongues with tradition and ease.   We believe, we do.   We believe.   … in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ His only Son, our Lord …   We believe, we do.   But Sundays have a way of hastening to end,
