For Simplicity

God,

As we navigate this complex world and seek to seek out ambiguity, and resist reducing your creation and children to black-and-white categories, we also seek out your simplicity. Grant us the hope in you that is simple, the truth that is plain, language that is centered, music that is pedestrian, and the faith that is easy to accept. Help me to resist in this Advent a waiting that is not complicated by outside needs and forces but a pure thirst for you and your coming.

Amen
