Journeying God

God of our earthly tents, God of our guiding light: you led your people through a desert and resisted a permanent home. You knew that a life made together is a life on the move, on roads we’d rather not choose. Follow me, you said. Come and see, you said. Be with me, my people forever. As we travel along through this ‘land of unlikeness,’ a terrain of unsettling truths, your city of reunion awaits. May the strangeness we face and the people who change us assure us we’re on the right path. 

Amen.
