March 9
As a mixture of celebrations, complaints, confusing stories, sayings, protests, and petitions, these writings reveal a God who is welcoming of human honesty and confrontation.

“Orchestrate Our Desires to Harmonize with Yours”
As we sit here together, God is present,
Breathing life into us and into everyone around us...
For a few moments, let’s sit silently,
and become aware of God’s loving presence.
(pause for 1-2 minutes)
Lord: Everything has the potential to draw forth from us a fuller love and life.
Yet our desires are often fixed, caught, on illusions of fulfillment.
We ask, Oh God, that in concert with our freedom,
you will orchestrate our desires
in a vibrant, loving, melody,
rich in harmony with God’s will.
Amen.
