Psalms in the form of words and art, reborn in the specific contexts of our world, privileging the voices of historically marginalized communities and those acting in solidarity with them.
Psalm 25: 1-10 Lent 1 B
Prayer for Guidance and for Deliverance
To our Creator
We uplift our souls.
We trust your Love.
Shame is your enemy.
We believe you know all of us.
We need your protection.
It can be hard
To feel
like we’re in your waiting room God.
When we long for a sign,
a presence,
a spark of you close.
We ask
Not for the familiar
But for something
Breathtaking
Luminous mountaintop
A bush alight
and resounding.
Or maybe we need the smaller
Grace
A seed
A bird
A well
A small piece
Of your garment
To grasp.
Living Psalm 25: 1-10, for Lent 1 B, was written by Sonny Graves.
