God,
Today we got to talk about how
We write God’s on our hearts
with the liturgy of the prayers we read
Mumuring, muttering, mumbling
Practicing, practicing, practicing
Faith….
Turning the story over and over in our brains
until it is written on our hearts.
We talked about the mystical change,
the one that takes place when we start off
talking about who we are
and how we are
angry
and sad
and joyful
and lamentful
and despondent
and we practice
our identity
and our identity with one another
and our identity in you.
God, I’m practicing,
With angsty prayers, and half finished stories,
and moments of belatedness
Help me practice
so that I, too, my move towards you,
As you write your love upon my heart.
Practice with me? Amen
