I can hardly believe it, Lord:
3 months,
that's 12 weeks,
just 91 days
'til your BIRTHDAY!
And so much to do between now and then
- and I'm not talking Christmas shopping!
Three months of
big decisions
sensitive issues
moral choices
pandemic safety
healing social wounds
critical responsibilities
and lots of hard work...
We need your help, Lord!
We need your counsel and wisdom
for making decisions and choices
with far-reaching consequences...
We need understanding and compassion
to respond to and resolve
our social unrest and injustice...
We need patience and prudence
to make our way through
this season of viral affliction...
We need your mercy and pardon
for the failures and sins
that have brought us to where we are...
We need your strength to sustain us,
your grace to inspire us,
your Spirit to guide us...
Show us the way to what's right and just,
decent and true, equal and fair:
to what leads us home to your peace, Lord...
So, 3 months,
that's 12 weeks,
just 91 days
between now and Christmas day:
be with us, Lord, we pray,
be with us, Lord, we pray!
Amen.
