An Abuent Prayer Lord, draw us in- to a hope that shines with a steady tenacity, a candle that even the winds of hatred and malice cannot extinguish. Lord, draw us in- to a peace that does not smooth over difference in an effort to make hollow amends, but roots itself in a righteous and restorative call to justice. Lord, draw us in- to a joy that erupts from within the most desolate of places, not naive amid the unimaginable, but brave and resistant in the face of despair. Lord draw us in- to a love that embraces us in the face of heartbreak. A love that calls to us by name, yet is vast and tender enough for all. Pt1
