I wrote this prayer for the menstrual phase with infertility in mind:
For the first day of a period
God of water and blood,
Embracing a time of emptying feels unfamiliar.
What do I let go of?
What do I continue to hold close?
How do I grieve?
How do I hope?
As this body releases what no longer serves us back to the Earth,
Help me follow the wisdom of your creation in making space for the work of letting go,
And for the grace of Your Spirit’s gentle, faithful, unseen work
Within fallow ground.
I related to Gina's words so much! "So I have no answers, but I have questions that you might have too—and I have hopes." <3
