Some days the news is empowering while other days it bring us to tears. Through all of the ups and downs of the 24 hour news cycle and the roller coaster of emotions that accompany it, you are the constant, Loving God. We look to you and your compassionate way as our compass. We lean into your strength when we are overwhelmed. Our tears speak of heartbreak. Help us pay attention to that which moves us so deeply and then be with us as we act justly, love tenderly and walk humbly with you, Holy One. Amen.
