Are you there, God? It's me, a parent in a pandemic and a city filled with racial unrest.
I could really use
We know this season requires sacrifice
Help us be gentle with ourselves
As we show up
In unexpected ways and in unexpected days
We need Your help, O God.
The weight of expectations
And we feel our limitations
As we navigate pressures
And parenting (NTI Instruction, Online School)
And politics (& Racial Unrest & Violence)
And a pandemic
We need Your help, O God.
Meet us here in our humanity
For your power is made perfect in weakness
And may the gentleness we give ourselves
Pour out in our interactions
With our families
And our neighbors
And even those who leave us scratching our heads
We need Your help, O God.
(Prayer by Liturgies for Parents)
I'm doing my best!
