When I write these prayers, it’s usually because of themes I see in social media – what are people’s stressors? What is causing them to freak? Today a friend sent me a message and I told her I’d write a prayer tonight. Here it is, and I hope it brings you blessing, or resonates. Please do share widely. ⠀ ——⠀ A prayer tonight for those who are D.O.N.E. DONE.⠀ Perhaps you’re exhausted in body, mind & spirit.⠀ Perhaps you’ve had to unfriend/hide yet another person.⠀ Perhaps expectations have been raised while communication has been lax.⠀ Perhaps witnessing the lack of integrity in leaders is weighing you down.⠀ Perhaps it’s hard to get out of bed in the morning.⠀ Perhaps the debt has piled too high. ⠀ Perhaps your heart is still breaking even though it was years ago.⠀ Perhaps the dream is dying but you don’t know what might take its place.⠀ Perhaps you can’t advocate for yourself.⠀ Perhaps you’re facing yet another uncertain doctor’s visit.⠀ Perhaps there are too many questions and too few answers.⠀ Perhaps you’re sitting in the ashes, again, and the phoenix feels dormant.⠀ Whatever we encounter, whomever we meet, may Grace be our guide. May we find our respite, our rest and our renewal, in the signs of Spring, in the full moon, in the feasts of Nowruz and in the colors of Holi. May we find the courage to make our lives and our loves a blessing. May we rest in God’s peace this night. ⠀ #PrayersForDaysThatEndInY

Earlier this evening, I noticed much heartbreak in my timeline. So much aching. And so: A prayer tonight for Broken Hearts. For those who are mourning their wife, mother, daughter, husband, father, son. For a heartbeat that was there just moments ago. For the loyal employee who was discarded today. For the child who shared their heart and was told to leave their home. For the woman who spoke truth to power and was shunned. For the teenager feeling the sting of first love. For the wife who cannot fathom how one who once loved so deeply can now be so cruel. For the one who has articulated their dream and watched it slip away. Whatever we encounter, whomever we meet, may Grace be our guide. May the God of love inspire us. May we find the courage to make our lives and loves a blessing.⠀ May we rest in God’s peace this night. #PrayersForDaysThatEndInY Holding in prayer especially right now the family of Stephanie, who passed away late last night, the family of Botham Jean, and Ashley & her family enduring an excruciating decision in the face of terrible loss. Is there someone you’d like remembered tonight in prayer? Leave a comment with their name or DM me & I’ll pray for them.
