While coloring and praying last weekend, there were parts of the picture too small for a name. This is what I prayed as I colored those sections...

God of edges, margins, and in-betweens
not just day and night,
but dawn and dusk.
Not just water and land,
but shore and marsh.*

God of precipices,
when falling over the edge
is a beautiful opportunity
for a new thing,
a new direction.

God of growth,
like leaves
may we bend ourselves towards you
and soak up the nourishing rays
of your love

God our rock,
sturdy and strong,
yet what we see,
just a small piece
of something larger.

God of rootedness,
even in shifting sands,
steady us in the wind
that bends us to and fro.
Bring us back to our center in you.
