A prayer of lament ~ Creator of all that is, Wounded Healer, Spirit of Life: Bless the tears we shed for those we have loved and lost, Bless the heads we bow for public tragedies and acts of violence. Bless the sighs we breathe for endangered species and habitat. Bless the hands we wring for the effects of climate change. Bless us as we lament. Cradle us as we cry. Restore us as we look for hope. Amen. Wendy Janzen 2018

A prayer for the first snowfall ~
God of wonders, Of seasons and cycles, of ebbing and flowing, of freezing and thawing: Thank you for mornings when we wake up to the beauty of freshly fallen snow. May the sight of snow evoke in us the joys of childhood, of simple pleasures, of walks wandering through the hushed world made new again. Fill our hearts with joy and pleasure, with gratitude for crisp, fresh air, and with patience for a slower pace. Amen. Wendy Janzen 2018 |
