A Prayer For Endurance

Blessed Wholeness,

It is an ancient evil:

Limited power seeking absolute power,

Destroying truth and compassion 

As it grows. 

It is upon us to resist if we can

And survive somehow

Until it goes. 

And it will go

But oh the suffering until it does. 

Blessed One-ness,

We pray for strength,

Intelligence and endurance 

For the targeted and outspoken and

For those who resist.

And we pray for safety

For the vulnerable and weak

And the preyed upon.

May we all find ways to help

And may we outlast the horrors. 

Amen
