Prayer 708


We turn to You, O God, with open, longing hearts, seeking You in all we do through the prayers we raise. 

Who are we, that You should take notice of us? We are your beloved children, and You have claimed us as your own. 

You, O God, are the Mother who gives us life; You, O God, are the Father who treasures us. 

Place us within the cleft of the rock, and place your hand behind us and before us, for we depend upon You. Help us to turn aside from our follies, and heal our often self-inflicted wounds; restore us to integrity and peacefulness. 

Holy One, You call us to wholeness and unity in You: hear the prayers of Your people as they seek your grace and mercy.

Amen.
