prayer of dependence tonight

For our "prayer of dependence" tonight, I printed a small picture of the Declaration of Independence. Then set it on a stand with a crucifix punched through it. Red fabric covers the stand, flowing down onto the floor.

It's meant as an image of our utter dependence on God amidst the pressures and challenges of a world that glorifies political power and self-sovereignty. The psalters' song "Ol' Glory" works really well with that image as well (hear it here).
