Merciful One, may we open our selves to You this day knowing that You stand at the door of our hearts and call us each by name.
Send your blessing as we meditate upon your word and seek to root it within our lives. May our lives be a witness to your command to build justice and peace in our communities. Guide our words and actions that they tell out your glory to all the world.
Deliver us from justifying the oppression of others based upon our own comfort. Make us truly loving to all we meet, including those with whom we disagree. Forgive us for our sins, for what we have done, and what we have left undone, that have harmed our relationship with You or with others.
Grant your peace and grace, O Holy One, upon those for whom we pray.
Amen.
