MONDAY PRAYER
While around us the song of fear
calls us to march to self-protection,
We choose to dance your rhythms of life;
While around us the music of greed
entices us to join its selfishness,
We choose to dance your rhythms of life;
While around us the drums of fashion
seek to beat us into conformity and desire,
We choose to dance your rhythms of life;
While around us so many are crippled by a Sabbath-less existence,
are in bondage to the devils that drive our world,
we praise you, God, for your healing touch,
for Sabbath-rest and Sabbath-inspired work,
for daily manna and the freedom of sharing,
for joyful “enough-ness” and comfortable justice.
May we learn to dance to your Sabbath-rhythms,
a little more each day,
and may our dancing bring healing and freedom,
to all those who receive our invitation
to join us in the rhythms of life.
Amen.
