A prayer for Trinity Sunday

God.

We need to talk with you about how we feel right now.
Because in this place, in this land, in this world, there are troubles.

You told us, Jesus, that in this world there would be troubles.
We can’t say you didn’t warn us.

But in this place this week and in this land this week and in this world this week, it feels like lots of people I know, and we each know of, are harried and hurting and hollow.

Lives shouldn’t end before they start.
Slow declines shouldn’t become sudden ends...
