Prayer for when we legislate things..

This is a prayer for those
who need
Legislate
posting the ten commandments

and the denominations that need
to

expel women
define “marriage”

in ways the devalue personhood

This is a prayer because
God melt the hearts
of those

who only have
one hardened
understanding of

scripture
God
humanity

God I pray that you melt
their hearts

God I pray that you
sing poetry to them
in their dreams

And show them
the mysteries of the heavens
And
tell them
that it is

ok

not to have a quick

answer
and solution

I pray for children that ask awkward
questions

I pray for elders
with mystical wisdom

I pray for animals
with unspoken relatedness

This is a prayer
for all parts of faith
that are not words
etched in stone

But people
beautifully alive
in community
eating, dancing
laughing in the mystery of faith

this is my prayer
for all those who are stuck
in the “right” Christianity today
