PRAYER TO THE PILGRIM GOD

            Pilgrim God, you journey with us,

coming alongside,
walking our path.

            Thank you for loving us
and not leaving us alone.

            Thank you for caring about our paths
and not leaving us helpless.

            We confess

            sometimes we wish you would just get us to the destination.

            Sometimes we wish you would at least fix the path.
Sometimes we yearn to not see through a glass darkly.

            This journey is hard.
So much is broken.

            We’re not sure of how our story unfolds into Yours.

            Sometimes we wish you would do the walking for us.
Sometimes we wish you were not a Pilgrim God.
Sometimes we’re not sure we want to be a pilgrim people.

            Yet you faithfully journey with us,
coming alongside, walking our path

            You invite us to faithfully journey with others when it is hard.

            You show us how to come alongside
those who suffer brokenness,

            walking with those who feel sidelined.

            Pilgrim God,

            we welcome you and join you as pilgrim people.

             We commit to being like you,
walking the path of love and justice for all.

            Amen.
