A Prayer For Those Who Struggle

(c) 2009 Rev. Katie Treadway

God, can you really meet my needs?
They seem to overwhelm me, to paralyze me, to the point that I just don't know what to do.
Stranger things have happened.
Calling forth something out of nothing at the creation of the universe;
Parting the Red Sea for a few hopeless creatures to find hope;
Sending a chariot of fire to woosh Elijah away to worlds unknown.
God, can you really meet the needs of this world?
The media plagues us with statistics of death and hatred and poverty and hunger.
Stranger things have happened.
Incarnation.
Transfiguration.
Resurrection.
