For Those Fighting Christian Nationalism #LetUsPray*: A Weekly Centering Prayer for These Turbulent Times

For those who believe that to have a theocratic Christian state of any ilk is antithetical to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, this prayer is for you. Of course, I have many, many, many thoughts about what the church should be doing in times like these, but because the most prevalent feeling that is coursing through my veins is rage, I am doing this as a series of breath prayers.

For Those Fighting Christian Nationalism #LetUsPray

God with a deep and determined breath
and with the world at war before me
I pray —

Inhale: in my rage
Exhale: grant me righteousness

Inhale: in my bewilderment
Exhale: grant me curiosity

Inhale: in my disappointment
Exhale: grant me understanding

Inhale: in my sorrow
Exhale: grant me time

Inhale: in my narrowness
Exhale: grant me humility

Inhale: in my truth
Exhale: grant me nuance

Inhale: in my resistance
Exhale: grant me tenacity

Inhale: in my alienation
Exhale: grant me community

Inhale: for those who suffer
Exhale: grant me awareness

Inhale: for saints before me
Exhale: grant me gratitude

Inhale: for the unaware
Exhale: grant me fluency

Inhale: for those new to the fight
Exhale: grant me generosity

Inhale: for my enemy
Exhale: grant me empathy

Inhale: in my pessimism
Exhale: grant me hope

Inhale: in my indifference
Exhale: grant me tenacity

Inhale: in my weariness
Exhale: grant me rest

Inhale: in my journey
Exhale: grant me joy

God, at a depth of my spirit
where only You can know
For these things I pray

— AMEN
