We lay our profound suffering before You
Calling for an end to vast sadness and grief
Commanding the inclusion of all peoples in Grace
Hear us now, as endless darkness deepens
We are lost in fear and doubt,
Angst and sorrow so profound,
Getting out of bed is humbling
Getting to sleep, impossible
My heart shrinks and shrivels up with
Thousands feeling loss, destitution, and brokenness
Pervading fear grips the strongest among us
Endless trials repeat, each darker than before
Thousands crossing the Brooklyn Bridge
Hundreds gassed at peaceful protests
Nameless, faceless paramilitary units
Threatening, confronting, with anger, then arrest
God of All, the old hatreds must go and soon
We cannot sustain this level of bedeviling disarray
We can’t return to the horrors of the past
The horrors of the present must end, and swiftly
Thousands unable to pay the rent, find a job, bury their dead
Thousands of businesses gasping for one more breath
Daily number explosions of more sick, dying and dead
Dreams, hopes, nest eggs, disappearing, perhaps forever
Guide us to peace, safety, and forgiveness
Bring us to the expanding path of Wholeness
Help us ensure that together, we all rise on the tide
Ever staring down darkness, by choosing Love
I choose to be kinder and clear out my anger and fear
I call in more compassion, banish all remnants of ego
Guide me to walk humbly with my God on the toughest days
Cleanse me of doubt and bring me home when my work here is finished
My God this is beautiful! Grateful for you and your work dear Robbins 💜
So beautiful! Thank you, Robbins. As we all navigate this
uncertain landscape, we praise

We are one people singing One Song. Blessed Be all that IS!

Dear Deborah,
Thank you so much for your response to the “God of All….” piece. Your comments are so helpful to me in hearing how this affected you. Indeed we are singing one song and hopefully we will find more and more ways to do that actively and profoundly. Blessings of the Light, Robbins
This is so powerful and so necessary. I’ve been carrying the load of all the killings particularly the public execution of George Floyd. For months trying to let go feelings of being torn apart, despair for our human family. I’m absorbing your prayer for relief for guidance.
Thanks Robbins.
Thank you Shirley. I hope you can put the load of killings down and know that you have witnessed and grieved and that those are acts of Supreme Love. Love heals all and when we carry the darkness, we are loving and when we put it down, we are loving and when we continue to call the Light, we are loving. We eventually get to calling in the Light for us to fully heal and for all those suffering to feel that healing as well. All the while, knowing that God’s work is never done. May this season help bring forth Love and Peace in full measure for you and all your loved ones. May bountiful Love be yours. Thank you so much for writing, Robbins
