We celebrate your steadfast love.
We praise you for your mercy.
We count on your faithfulness.
We celebrate and
praise and
count on.
And then the world does not work right.
We find ourselves unsafe and anxious,
caught up in greed and selfishness,
beset by a culture of violence and threat.
We wonder about the mismatch
between you and your creation.
Mostly we trust,
deep down we sometimes do not.
We risk truth-telling
about your absence and silence and withdrawal.
We do such truth-telling,
telling it to you,
you...absent, silent, withdrawn.
You we address, you, our only hope
in this world and in the world to come.
