Friday Prayer

This is the day God has made...let us rejoice and be glad in it.

This day, with all of it's beauty and brokenness.

This day, with all that is hopeful and uncertain filling it.

This day, with all of it's marvel and mystery ~ it's fantastic and frustrating.

This day around you right now.

What is stirring in this moment?

What is swirling in your soul waiting, watching for you to notice?

What is the good...

the bad...

the ugly of right now?

Take the time to notice and name what is on the shelves of your soul, what is tumbling around in the thoughts of your mind, what is humming in your heart.

Write it

Draw it

Put together a beautiful chart in neat columns and rows.

It doesn't matter how you express it, just that your head and heart and hand all collaborate together.

To measure the number of our days, specifically this day.

This one day God has made.

This one day where you and God conspire together to what you can, where you can, with as much love as you can.

This one day where the spirit directs your steps.

This is the day God has made, how do you rejoice and be glad in it?

Amen.
