This is the prayer I wrote to close our Holy Saturday worship service today.
-----
Loving God.
We have such fond memories of you.
The way you used to comfort us when we were sad.
The way you gave us such confidence in the face of uncertainty.
We miss you!
We had hoped that you were the one
to fulfill our dreams and give us the desires of our hearts.
We are deeply disappointed and broken this morning by the realization that
our hopes were misplaced.
We have dreamed for the wrong things.
We have prayed the wrong prayers.
Where shall we go from here?
We are lonely and in pieces.
If you can hear us…
If you can hear us now...
We’re not even sure what to ask for.
Amen.
