A Prayer for the Desire to Live Well Together

Loving God,

When our differences lead us toward conflict,

help us desire to live well together,

to seek what is good for each other,

and to honor our differences as best we can.

Amen.

A Reflection for When Differences Become Conflict

Sometimes our differences lead us into disputes and conflict with others.

But how often is the conflict really necessary? Romans suggests an alternative path.

“If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” — from Romans 12:18

Instead of focusing on the differences, we focus on how to live well together, how to seek what is good for each other, and how to honor our differences as best we can.

Our differences aren’t going to disappear. But maybe our conflict can.

A Prayer for When the Challenge Feels Bigger Than We Are

Loving God,

When we don’t feel big enough to face the challenges in front of us,

remind us that you are, and give us the confidence to trust that you are with us no matter what.

Amen.

A Reflection for When We Don’t Feel Big Enough

Sometimes we feel a lot smaller than the challenge in front of us.

Moses certainly felt this way when he got the call to go back to Egypt. “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh…” — from Exodus 3:11

Indeed, who was he to confront the then most powerful person on earth? But God reminded Moses that God would be with him.

It’s not that we are so big or our problems are so small. It’s the knowledge that God is with us no matter what.

A Reflection For When We Conspire For Good

When we think of conspiracies, we usually think of something evil and destructive. But think of the women whose conspiracies made Moses’s life possible.

The midwives defied Pharaoh’s orders and kept the babies alive.

A mother hid her son for as long as she could.

His sister watched over him and stepped in at just the right moment.

Pharaoh’s daughter recognized that he was a Hebrew child, but chose compassion anyway—making it possible for his own mother to care for him.

None of these women were particularly powerful, but together they conspired to use the power they had for good.

A Prayer for When We Can’t Do Much

Loving God,

When it feels like we can’t do much, help us do what we can.

And trust that all of us doing what we can will one day make a difference.

Amen.

A Reflection for When We Do What We Can

Sometimes it seems like we’re not able to do very much.

Pharaoh’s daughter wasn’t able to stop the slaughter or change her father’s mind.

But she was able to save one child, and help one family. — from Exodus 2

Some years later, that child would go on to free his people from bondage and lead them through the wilderness.

Doing what we can may not change the world. But it takes all of us doing what we can to change the world.
