We all know that change happens every day, but for some reason we’re never quite prepared when it comes. In very specific terms I can name a major negative event happening in the lives of at least a dozen friends and three people I encountered in an airport. These aren’t just little worries; they’re big problems. They’re consuming the minds and hearts of the people I love. Imagine multiplying my little circle of friends and their worries across our nation, across the world.
I don’t know how to name that inner turmoil, that stress that change brings. It feels cloudy, fearful, angry, sad, disappointed, uncertain, grey, and so much more…all mixed together. This prayer is for you.
Oh Holy Spirit, you are our wonderful comforter. Please bring peace, bring stillness, bring clarity and light. Let a calm wash over my friends and all the people who need you. Surprise them today with a hope they never expected to have given their circumstances. Paint a beautiful picture of their future right before their eyes. Open up the heavens and show them the beautiful tapestry into which you have woven their lives. Amen.
