Prayer For When It’s Too Much

Holy Wholeness, 

Well the news is horrible.  

It’s too much pain, too much hate. 

No wonder we’re  angry, 

No wonder we’re bewildered. 

Cruel idiots are ruining the world

And it’s exhausting 

And weird

And we can’t stand it. 

It’s too much. 

If there’s a way to cope, 

I hope we’ll find it.   

If there’s a way to give ourselves a rest, 

I hope we’ll use it.
If there’s a way to not despair,
I hope we’ll feel it.
If there is a way to make things whole again 
We better do it. 

I hope. 

Amen
