index card prayer in dappled light

Complacency & “What is,” now

11/4 We give thanks our God for the warmth of this day, for the love of family and friends; and on this election day the freedoms that are ours.

Guide and direct each of us as we exercise those freedoms – forgive our complacency – free us from our anxieties of what ‘might happen’ and help us to enjoy what is ours. Amen

Dad passed away before this most recent presidential election. I will have to research which one he might have been anxious about. Certainly, he would be surprised at this election.

Complacency is a terrible chain holding us down and making us feel stuck. We never realize we hold the key to unlock the chain.
