Psalm 51:10-11

God, make a fresh start in me,

shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life.

Don’t throw me out with the trash,

or fail to breathe holiness in me.

Imagine God thinking of us as boring chores--trashing some of us, forgetting to breathe in others. Truth is, God does not reject the way our world rejects.

Open the book to Genesis whenever you need to remember how God created all things good, and humans — very good. Divine intentions activate resurrection.

Invite God to create life with your chaos.
