JUNE 2020Our various degrees of confinement may feel barren and stale. This month, we want to imagine anew what God can do. Imagination is akin to wonder and so we must start with by ruminating on what God has done in the past, against all odds. Only then can we imagine what God can do (not

what WE can do) in spite of and perhaps because of our limitations.

PRAYER FOR JUNE:You are a God who awes us and astonishes us.You are a God who selects a dysfunctional family to carry your future.You are God who dwells with barren women who become mothers in Israel.You are a God who makes promises with no evidence at hand or in sight.You are a God powerful in purpose, hidden in performance, faithful over time.And we are among those drawn into the orbit of your life;a life teeming with impossibilities so hard to trust, so impossible to explain, so precious to treasure.Give us this day the freedom to be amazed and to trust your way among us, even when the world seems closed to all futures.We praise you, future creating God. Amen

—On Reading Genesis 12-15, by Walter Brueggemann

PRAYER PRACTICE:Choose a fulfillment narrative in the Bible and ponder God’s wonder-inducing futures through song, word or form this month. If you feel like sharing, share yours on the CMFi-Q(uarantined) group on Facebook.

FASTING PRACTICE:Spend one day a week this month fasting during daylight hours for the unfulfilling futures around us
