A LENTEN PSALM OF LONGING


In the midst of ambiguity, O God,

in the midst of the messiness 

         of our lives,

Choices that are not clear
lines that are not
solid, sharp, predictable,
In the daily challenge,

in the plunging into the chaos,

uncertainty, doubt,
In all this, O God,
we find you,

God of incarnation, of life

which is neither neat nor clear-cut.
Through our daring
to live into the questions
we encounter you,
God of the questions themselves.
Through our living in chaos,
we encounter you, God of chaos,
God in chaos,
God moving, stirring, bringing to birth
    a new creation.              (anonymous )
