God of questions that set us
in new directions and toward destinations we never considered. God of doubts
that dance and open us to different insights and ideas. God of delights that loves to inquire and
inspect our one wild and precious life together, meet us this day we pray. As summer wears on, as the humidity zaps our
energy, as our souls daydream of refreshing breezes, meet us where we are. Amid too much criticizing, both externally
and internally, amid too much violence as our first, middle, and only response,
amid a world that is dizzying and disorienting, God continue to ground us in
Your centering presence. Holy One, we
wish that our story was more like a comic book where You would swoop in and
save us. We wish things would be better
or we would be better or that others would change. Our expectations and experiences are the
exact place that we are afraid to stand and where we might just meet You. In this uncomfortable, untidy, unusual place meets
us with a sustaining strength we need today.
May we continue to find micro moments to encountering Your mystery again
and again this day. All this we pray in
the name of the One who danced in a burning bush, sent a whale to swallow
Jonah, and bravely faced the cross to show us love. Amen.
