Processing with God: Narrative Lectionary, Liturgy, Prayers
Psalm 3
God, Why are there so many enemies? I feel like I can’t ask people in Kansas if they are friends of Dorothy anymore
And the Scouts do not feel trustworthy Today
Jesus Christ How many times Do we cry out
Hosanna Hosanna For the Trans Kids Hosanna for the Sex Abuse Survivors Hosanna for the Women’s Athletes Hosanna for the Black Actors, Artists and Musicians Hosanna for the kidnapped, the revealed deaths, the scared immigrants Hosanna
Hosanna for the World for Iraq, Pakistan, Cuba, Ukraine
Hosanna
I call to you, and many say Why do you call to God God doesn’t help Woke people
But I cry out And God answers
I go to sleep and I wake up God is sustaining us
We are not afraid of the people who are against us Even if they number tens of thousands
God, You are already Awake So I say Rise Up Save us Hosanna,
O My God! Deliver us, Strike All my enemies on the cheek You Break teeth of the wicked
For
Deliverance is God’s
Blessings belong to your People
God, protect the vulnerable and stop evil we pray Amen

"Publisher after publisher turned down A Wrinkle in Time," L'Engle wrote, "because it deals overtly with the problem of evil, and it was too difficult for children, and was it a children's or an adult's book, anyhow?" The next year it won the prestigious John Newbery Medal.
Tolkien states in the foreword to The Lord of the Rings that he disliked allegories and that the story was not one.[66] Instead he preferred what he termed "applicability", the freedom of the reader to interpret the work in the light of his or her own life and times.
