$\"\"$ <\/a>God of our hearts,
\nWalk with us through
\nThe great storms of life.<\/p>\n

Scatter us not to the four corners
\nas the gale threatens to decimate
\nall we hold dear.<\/p>\n

Untether us from the\u00a0harbors\u00a0of hate
\nand give us\u00a0buoyancy
\nto weather the deluge of\u00a0ignorance
\nthat threatens to drown us all.<\/p>\n

Give us strength
\nTo be your hands and feet
\nand row with others
\nAs the waves of this world
\nthreaten to submerge us
\nbeneath the surface of our darkest hours.<\/p>\n

Grant that we have a ray of faith
\nin the misty foam of our unbelief
\nthat in you;
\njoined with our sisters & brothers
\nall things are possible
\nthrough Christ.<\/p>\n

Amen<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
