God of the broken-hearted and worn-out, thank you for Nadia and her vulnerable prayers. Bless her with your overwhelming peace. When peace is unreachable, may Netflix have new shows.

Lord, give me the tolerance and grace to deal with people's ignorance and some times down right stupidity.

What a week! I’ve been leaking tears on and off for days— exhausted tears, happy tears, all the tears. But tears are good medicine. One of the things that brought me happy tears this week was this. https://www.theatermania.com/new-york-city-theater/news/watch-original-rent-stars-and-broadways-best-celeb_91837.html?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=21jan2021&fbclid=IwAR2IVdygzAzFm45MBHAb3DL0i63V7Q8zXkO51wQqmHDLMNn_2kWLrsMQmbU

Thank you for Nadia's voice that speaks in the way I do to you, and thus gives me a pass, or encouragement to continue, not sure which. Thank you for the Possum in the back yard, because I know she does all kinds of great things, even though in the wee hours, when my dog Dickens goes outside, she likes to sit on the fence, frozen and staring at him, so he can bark the neighbors awake. I'm still thankful you made dogs and cats and possum.

Increase my capacity for tenderness, especially when I don't really feel it.

Dear God

I am glad you let somebody invent coffee.

As I've told many a person who's been mad/angry at God, God is big enough to take our mad. Thank you for blessing us with your honesty, Nadia!

Lord, thank you for your forgiveness and your strength. Thank you for reminding us that there is no such thing as perfection and that it is okay to feel broken. And disappointed. And angry. Thank you for loving me as you do every day. I ask Lord that you continue to work in my life and all of those around me. I ask Lord that you touch my daughters. They both still don't believe you exist because of all the fake Christians they know. Please whisper in their ears so that they know you.

Thank you Nadia for your courageous and honest spirit. Thank you for saying out loud that which for so many of us remains unsaid. Thank you for having the energy to say this today but realise too that it's OK NOT to have the energy. We're behind you! Blessings x

amen to every line of this prayer! And Lord bless Nadia and anyone who is near this prayer today with peace. Thank you that you will keep our whole spirit, body and soul blameless until Christ comes again (1 Thess 5). May it be so! May it be so!

Thank you Nadia. You were spot on to the feelings I've been having all week. I too lost a good friend and the anger at Covid, grief that she leaves behind a loving husband, two sons and three grandchildren who were not ready to let her go has consumed me this week. Your words, in their way, put it all in perspective and I feel at peace.
