Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

a prayer for shelter and shadow

Father,
 
We know sometimes we are alone,
and sometimes we are in community.
 
Sometimes we are in shadow,
and sometimes we are surrounded by shelter.
 
Sometimes we feel like exiles in our land, language, even in our bodies. 
And sometimes we feel welcome and at home.
 
As we seek to be connected and authentic with one another,
may we share the things that do not fade:
generosity, truth-telling, silence, respect and love.

And may the power we share be for the good of all human flourishing.

We praise God, the source of this rich life.
We honor each other's stories.

Whether in our shadow or in our shelter,
may we live well and fully with each other.
 
 
Amen
