Dear God,
Pull me back to center.
Hold me steady.
Keep me grounded.
Through the distress and uncertainty,
the ugliness and evil,
the injustice and suffering,
the death and despair,
the stress and longing
the depression and grief.
May I not transcend nor bypass this moment,
embolden me to be a light in it.
May I not be overpowered by the burden of worries,
guide me on paths of possibility.
May I not be swept away by the winds of chaos,
keep me rooted in a steadfast peace.
Surrendering
Releasing
Breathing
Letting go
I make room
I stand firm
in You.
Amen.
