Tuesday Prayer

...for those in terror and fear, grief, loss,
ongoing.
never fading.
not even thinking that hope is possible.
O God,
hear our heartbreaking prayers.

...for the bursts of golden forsythia,
the happy daffodils along the riverside,
wandering geese among the carpets of grass,
the pink of crabapple trees,
O God,
we are surprised by the hope of nature.

...for our minds and hearts and beings,
caught in the inbetween,
we pray
for peace,
for breathing,
for presence.

Amen.
