You, majestic sovereign…move off the page!
Move off the page to the world,
move off the page to the trouble,
move out of your paged leisure
to the turmoil of your creatures.
Move to the peace negotiations,
and cancer diagnoses,
and burning churches,
and lynched blacks,
and abused children.
Listen to the groans and moans,
and see and hear and know
and remember, and come down!"
(Awed to Heaven, Rooted in Earth: Prayers of Walter Brueggemann).
