Prayer For The Possibilities

Art by Mike Cockrill

Blessed One-ness,

We have raged

We have despaired 

We have witnessed 

We have fought

And now we know

The Bad Guys can lose

The Good Guys can win

And we can survive

And we can flourish. 

We pray for

Life and Liberty 

And The Pursuit of Happiness

We pray for a country

Where all people are created equal

We pray 

For the strength to defy evil

For the spirit to live within God’s complex image

For the mind to imagine the possibilities. 

Happy Fourth of July!

Amen
