A liturgy for husband and wife in uncertain times
To the God who hears our prayers
Feels our pain
Sees our tears
Brings us from darkness to light
When things change it can bring up old insecurities
And feel like all is lost
Give us the grace to accept what is rightfully ours
Let us not settle for anything less
Nor demand anything more
Give us patience to wait for your provision
Give us the guts to fight
And the wisdom to know what to fight for
What to cling to
And what to let go of
Give us insight to know what must change
And what must stay the same
Wisdom to perceive the shift
Light up our path
Let your love light the way
We long for comfort and stability
Let that not blind us to the new direction you are taking us
Prompt us Lord, when to act
And when to pause
Give us the guts to try something new
And the resilience to keep going
When the going gets tough
Let us not remain senseless slaves to our old ways
Bind us together Lord
That we may work together
As the life partners we are
Let us share the load fairly
Let the treasures of this trial be worth more than the pain
For your faithfulness is far greater than any uncertainty
