The exhaustion is real for us all right now in the world as we grapple with the brokenness of so many things, and this video/prayer was just what I needed to hear. May it bring you hope and light today....
A Prayer for Moments of Emergency:
O God our rock,
hold us in this chaos.
O Christ our King,
calm us in this storm.
O Holy Spirit,
intercede for us.
Be merciful,
most merciful God!
O God our Rock,
hold us in the chaos of this hard hour.
O Christ our King,
calm us in the storm of our distress.
O Holy Spirit,
intervene and intercede.
We need you now,
most merciful God!
-Douglas McKelvey, Every Moment Holy
Our true home is in the present moment.
To live in the present moment is a miracle.
The miracle is not to walk on water.
The miracle is to walk on the green Earth in the present moment,
to appreciate the peace and beauty that are available now.
Peace is all around us in the world and in nature, and within us;
It is in our bodies and our spirits.
Once we learn to touch this peace, we will be healed and transformed.
It is not a matter of faith, it is a matter of practice.
— Thich Nhat Hahn
