Litany for Embracing Change

God, we behold the cycles of nature,
Understanding that change is the constant –
The release of the old to make way for the new,
The acceptance of death to make way for new life.

In Lent we posture our hearts toward non-resistance, toward surrender,
To change,
To death,
And ultimately, to life.

We ask with the Psalmist:
Create in us clean hearts,
Put a new and right spirit within us.
Teach us wisdom in our deepest parts
Whatever needs to be released, we release.
Whatever needs to die, we bury.

We embrace all this change,
So that we may be glorified with Christ
So that we may become more joyful,
Full of truth in our inward beings

We do this throughout our lives,
As often as we are given the opportunity.
We do this with gratitude for growth,
And with trust in your goodness.

We know that when we stop changing,
We are no longer alive.
We know that death, release, letting go, transformation,
Are parts of the whole, beautiful story.
Help us as we do the work of welcoming change,
And becoming more healed, whole and full of joy. Amen
