O God, you who brood over the dark, roiling waters of our human failure to love: as Jesus came not to walk upon these waters, but to compass their depths, grant us the courage of your Spirit to face their fierce waves, that we might clasp hands in love with our sisters and brothers of the tempest, one people as you are One God. Amen.
For music, Leonard Cohen’s “You Want It Darker”:
amazing stuff — thanks for the prayer and the song.
