Loving God, Ultimate Divine Manager of Time and Space,

It’s taken me until 11:05pm at the end of ADHD Awareness Month to write this prayer.
I’m sure you’re not surprised.

I’ve also put off writing more of my prayers as you see here on this blog.
Why? Because there are 100 tabs open in my brain,
And I’m wondering why I’m overthinking everything.

There’s so much to say in this prayer, Holy One.
So I’ll start here…

I’ve overanalyzed everything, my brain is tired.
I’ve delayed what is needed due to waves of the brain crashing.
I’ve been called many names, splashed in shame, and found myself spiraling.

But now it has a name. Or letters.
And I know this brain mirrors your holy design.

So may each of us – diagnosed by self or a provider
And each of us speculating that we have ADHD,
May all of us whether medicated or unmedicated,
Whether hyperactive externally or internally,
Know that you love us completely.

When the world criticizes or turns their backs,
We know whose child we are
And in whose image we are made.

May we experience joy as we meet fellow ADHDers on the journey
And share our stories with one another.
May this joy extend to naming our greatest strengths,
Our strongest supporters,
And our working therapies.

And because you are the designer of space and time,
May we grow in our relationship with each
And help our neurodiverse kin grow in awareness, grace, and love.

Amen.
