Each year in November, organized by Rev. Jan Avende, a group of folks from multiple spiritual traditions gets together to write prayers. This is largely organized on Facebook through a group, and then Jan curates the FB page to post highlights each day. Some days there are tons of prayers and other days are lighter, but we’re all seeking to write 30 prayers in November.
I make my prayers into graphics, using Adobe Spark Post, but that’s NOT necessary to participate. Any prayer is fine, public or private, written or made into a graphic. It’s all totally up to you how you want to do this challenge.
I usually try to post mine here, but fizzle out partway through. We’ll see how this year goes.
But here’s today’s. I’m less confident than I usually am about finishing this year, but I can only control today, and today I am writing a prayer.

On this day of new beginnings, I find myself hounded by the events and fears and woes and trials of this year. Walking the Black Dog is never easy – trying to be creative while doing so is harder. But life is about taking risks, even when I am not sure I will complete them. Today, spirits of perseverance, I ask you to bless this work of November. May I, with your help, write these prayers for myself and for others, and may they bring light into a dark time. So be it.
