The truth is, O God, using words is usually the last way we pray.
And, even then, our words barely scratch the surface.
Our hopes and dreams;
Our tears;
Our heartbreak;
Our compassion;
Our concern;
Go farther and reach deeper than what our words can ever go.
So just as we do everyday, let us pray with all that and more.
Let us pray with our bravest hopes.
And, with the tears we cannot hold back.
And, with the brokenness of our heart.
And, with our compassion which reaches out a hand to our neighbor.
And, with our concern for so many in so many places;
Including this Your world entrusted now to our care and keeping.
Amen.
