Serendipitous Sacred One, You
show up in ways that delight my soul.
You evoke and provoke within me new stories. You deconstruct my defenses and long to sing
a new gospel for me to live my life with others and with all Your creation. Grant me wisdom and strength to continue to
be open to You. Grant me a discerning
detective heart that I don’t know everything, I don’t see down the block and
around the corner, that my five-year plan is not as brilliant as I think it is
(nor is my five-day-plan). Yet, O God,
You love to move in our hearts and lives with Your presence. You continually show up and sing out to
us. Help us be open to You. Help us delight in discovering Your
fingerprints in our lives. Help us when
we get caught in narratives that define us, confine us, and confuse Your gospel
with our own agenda. Help us break out
of systems that hurt and harm ourselves and others. Grant us energy, for the hard holy work of
being human in these days. Let our
imaginations roam to new places, let our lives magnify You like Mary, and let
our interactions with others be a source of grace. Guide and ground us this day and every day in
the coming weeks. Amen.
