“The place to improve the world is first in one’s own heart and head and hands.”

-Robert M. Persig

God, we keep inventing ourselves and our underneath selves turn out to be less than adequate and we wish we were other than we are. We juggle your good purposes and our hidden yearnings and try to serve two masters, try to live two narratives, try to live two dreams, and we are weary. Gives us patience and steadfastness as we process the ragged edges of our lives. Amen.

-Adapted from Prayers for a Privileged People by Walter Brueggemann
