From Brianna Brown:

A Gentle Prayer As You Hold Unknowns

Oh God of the universe, 

you alone orchestrate the movement of the stars, 

the birth of flowers blooming into beauty, 

and the life cycle of leaves forming and changing as seasons come and go. 

///

I sit here, in the bleakness of my questions,

holding unknowns in my life that feel insurmountable. 

Questions that rise from the depths of my soul fill my heart with yearning—

for answers, 

for peace, 

for hope, 

for a path forward, 

for courage to look back, 

for any sort of direction. 

I am walking alongside you, Jesus, on a path that my eyes can’t see—

where the fog is too thick, and my feet and heart feel confused. 

///

Oh God of the universe, remind me today, 

that you are working and weaving, 

molding and forming, 

designing and creating—

a beautiful journey. 

May I draw closer to the heartbeat of your breath today—

the rhythm of your steadfastness, 

the soothing of your knowing, 

the regulation of your love. 

///

Holy Spirit, remind me today that the answers to my questions are not the end all. 

The process of drawing nearer, 

doing my next right thing, 

noticing God’s goodness in the mundane, 

noticing the patterns of Love throughout my life—that is the journey through the unknown. 

May I hold the words of Mary, the sacred mother of Jesus, with open hands today—

May it be to me according to your word. 

Amen

Peace Be With You. – Paul
