Liturgy 027: Your Will Be Done

🙏 A Poem and a Prayer for God's Will Sans Certainty

This then is how you should pray…
Let your will be done.
-Jesus of Nazareth

🙏 A Prayer for God’s Will Without Certainty

God I am a mess
whenever I think about your will

I want to know — what is it?
What do you want?
Where should I go?
To whom shall I speak?

Really. What I wish for is
certainty. Are these
the correct quadrants?

And then.
As your Spirit reveals
my obsession
with certainty
as a fear of loss,
I hear a liberating voice:

Your Kingdom is built
less so
by what I do
more so
by how I do
anything, everything.

Let your will be done.

In every outcome
may I be
a person of prayer
a person of kindness
a person of hope

Here is my fear.

🕊️ A Blessing

May you feel the Father say “Well done!” because your hidden desire behind it all was to cultivate within you the way of love.
