Prayer for Living in Tension

In the foreground, a trio of candles in small jars. In the background, a group of people form a friendly huddle.

If we have any hope of transforming the world and changing ourselves,
we must be
bold enough to step into our discomfort,
brave enough to be clumsy there,
loving enough to forgive ourselves and others.

May we, as a people of faith, be granted the strength to be
so bold,
so brave,
and so loving.
