Hard times take many forms: the loss of a job or other economic hardship; the devastation of a flood or other natural disaster; the horror of violent assault. Just getting out of bed can be an act of great courage at times like these. Whisper a prayer for yourself, or say one for your friend, community, or the world. Hope will find you.Â

A blessing of strength and resilience for a premature baby
Formally acknowledging a separation from abusive parent(s)
A song inspired by listening to Palestinians tell their stories of hardship
A prayer for healing in response to being marginalized as a black woman
A prayer for strength to be said before facing a challenge.
A prayer for compassion and empathy in the midst of fear and pain
For gathering strength to care for our parents who have cared for us.
A prayer of thanksgiving for the goodness, protection, and empowerment in our lives
Breathe along with this poem praising the Source of all breath
Now more than ever, we need the guidance of our ancestors, and creative expression provides a wonderful path for connection.
Express your love and gratitude for those who have profoundly shaped your journey and summon their wisdom into your own life.
