Prayer List
BLESSING TO SUMMON REJOICING
(Inspired by Psalm 126)
When your weeping has watered the earth.
When the storm has been long
and the night and the season of your sorrowing.
When you have seemed an exile from your life,
lost in the far country,
a long way from where your comfort lies.
When the sound of splintering and fracture haunts you.
When despair attends you.
When lack. When trouble. When fear.
When pain. When empty. When lonely.
When too much of what depletes you
and not enough of what restores and rests you.
Then let there be rejoicing.
Then let there be dreaming.
Let there be laughter in your mouth
and on your tongue shouts of joy.
Let the seeds soaked by tears turn to grain,
to bread, to feasting.
Let there be coming home.
~Jan Richardson

We pray for

- all who are unsure of how to finance the holiday for their family;
- students, anxious about their workload and grades;
- those facing tough decisions and weary with discernment;
- families grieving due to the effects of illness, addiction, gun violence, and oppression;
- Every message-bearer, wound-healer, hope-sharer who make us know God's love, healing and peace.
