#Living Psalm 29_Elsa Anders Cook for May 26 due May 13

We ask you, Eternal One, for strength
to hear your voice in every powerful force
in this world so full of chaos and catastrophe.

We skip to the end 
because we are not 
so sure we want to give you
credit for all that is happening.

We ask you, Eternal One, for strength
not give up on the gift of your peace
and to find the courage to listen 
through the storm.

With every boom and crash,
call us to greater attention. 
Let us find more to ascribe 
To your holy name in
every strike and flood
that causes us to quake.

We need to skip to the end
to ask you, Eternal One, for strength 
to discover again that you 
are beyond every tempest and typhoon that we might 
ascribe to you. Give us this gift of peace.
