Here's a liturgy for too much information.

In the warp speed cycle of digital news, caring for our souls means time in God's word, time away from our devices, and a reminder that we're called the faithfulness not success.

In his book, Every Moment Holy, Douglas McKelby offers a liturgy for those flooded with too much information.

We're daily aware of more grief,

O Lord, than we can rightly consider, of more suffering and scandal than we can respond to,

of more hostility, hatred, horror, and injustice than we can engage with compassion.

So remind us that we're but small and finite creatures, never designed to carry the vast

abstractions of great burdens, for our arms are too short and our strength

is too small. Justice and mercy, healing and redemption are your labors. So give us discernment to know

when to pray, when to speak out, when to act, and when to simply shut off our screens, and to sit

quietly in your presence, casting the burdens of this world upon the strong shoulders of the one who alone is able to bear them up.

And to that I say, amen.
