When they came to a place called The Skull, they nailed him to the cross. And the criminals were also crucified - one on his right and one on his left.

Luke 23:33 NLT

God of Moses & Miriam,

who brought your people

through the wilderness:

lead us through the wilderness of our wounds by the light of the Wounded One.

For though our anxiety leaves us lost, alone, and ashamed and we curse the chaos in our very selves,

the only way out 

of the country

of our wounds

is through,

and Christ's courage

to let chaos

nail him through

can make these wounds the path back to our promised land.

Amen.

May we create space to reflect on the chaos, the nails, the courage, the wounds, and the hope that is found in all of that today.
