We feel peace and comfort as we enter your sacred prayer space. You encourage us to greet each other in a good way. We sometimes struggle with judgemental attitudes towards others. But your way is the way of patience, love, and peace. Your guidance is to bury the hatchet of judgement and prejudice, and to make things right with each other.

With our hands, we will tend and care for your creation. With our ears, we will hear your voice. With our eyes, we will see the needs of others. With our voices, we will speak and sing health, peace, and love. With our hearts, we will show your compassion with creation and each other, so we will journey in a good way.

My mouth is full of crap and I speak out of ignorance, out of selfishness. I look at the situations and circumstances, consumed with pain, sin, and hatred. You graciously listen to me grumble. Your words and questions stop me in my tracks. What is it to you, mortal? Where were you, when I created the earth? I am humbled by your thoughts and realize I do not know the big picture or the purpose. I forgot I was created by joy and for joy. I was created to have a relationship with you. Thank you for listening while I puke out the crap and for calling me back to you. You love me. I am yours.

We enter your sacred prayer space, seeking new life. You reveal to us that to gain life, we must first lose our lives. We fear these transitions–the unknown that comes from letting go of what we know or what we can control. You draw near, meeting us in the seclusion of our fears and doubts. Life-giving Spirit falls upon us, and we feel your peaceful presence.
