I understand all of life as a prayer. Jubilee is a good reminder to pray for justice for all people, and for the whole creation. Sabbath rest helps us re-member ourselves and pray for the renewal of our earth. Sabbath rhythm as journey and story Jubilee prayer moves us beyond ourselves and calls us on a journey. We have a culture of self-sufficiency.
Prayer is a journey out of the Egypt of self-sufficiency to the promised land of grace.
That liberating journey is not without questions, pain and loss. Lament usually ends with some sort of resolution and renewal. There is a rhythm of lament, a story. The structure of our public prayers involves a narrative, with the capacity to pull us into the drama of God's action in the world. The story of Jubilee is that God is a giver.
