Lord, we weep with those who weep and refuse to be consoled. May our tears mix with yours in a river of justice, flowing down like mighty waters, transforming the world that is into one that ought to be. Amen.
Verse of the Day: 1 Samuel 2:4-5

The bows of the mighty are broken,
but the feeble gird on strength.

but those who were hungry are fat with spoil.
The barren has borne seven,
but she who has many children is forlorn.

On The Ground
Put prayers on the ground,
so many prayers that not
a drop of blood can find its way
to the earth, not a drop
can leach into the soil or soul.
Put your prayers on the ground.
Make a place for God to walk
among the horrors and hopes.
There you will find us standing
in his wake, knee deep
in invocations and possibilities.
