What should I say, O God?
You have been my help
and my heartache,
my fire and
my frustration,
my way and my weariness.
What do you say, O God?
We are your beauty
and your bane,
your chagrin
and your craving,
your delight and your disappointment.
What can we say, O God?
There are pain and
passion both,
joy and
injustice both,
there are love and loss and labor.
Bless our words. Bless our silence. Bless our lives.
How can I buy this book of prayers?
Thank you, Judy. Many of these prayers are published only here on my blog. A small set of prayers is published in my book Writing to God.
