The branches break
The leaves swirl in disorder
Nature tells us the reality we fight daily
We are not in charge
We are not in control.
Holy, enter into this chaos.
Shelter us in your embrace.
Wipe our tears
Hear our frustrations
Receive our wailing onto yourself
Receive us:
Whipped, broken, in disorder
Trying to fight human realities daily
Trying to wrestle, take charge, take control
When in fact, only you can make order.
Trust and Faith.
Faith: ta pway li ta moo win ik
Faith: The thought of the truth
Hold tonight to the thought of the truth.
Thanks be to God.
Amen.

A prayer for the start of the week:
It seems like it might be a very overfull week, with many things to do, and many storms waiting to whip everything into confusion.
God you can make order out of this chaos, and you can make time when it feels like there is not enough. Please do these in our lives this week - and help us make it through this week.
Strengthen us, especially in reaching out to you - from whom all power and strength flow.
Amen.
