A Hiking Prayer

I wrote this while hiking ancient basalt riverbeds in northern Minnesota. Some really hard stuff was happening, and this just came to me.

​
​God, 

Give me feet
so I know I am on solid ground.

Give me tears
so I know I have compassion.

Give me laughter
so I know I am loved.

Give me hands
so I can hold on.

Amen.
