We rise from our rest and place our hands and hearts into the hands of our Savior, who blesses us beyond all measure.
Loving One, we thank you for the gift of a new day: let us use it to your glory. Let us sing out our joy to the world, and be a people of justice and peace. Turn our hearts from bitterness and anger, O God, and fill us instead with the light of your love, making us beacons of mercy. Let us dedicate ourselves anew to your gospel, Lord Christ, and serve you in constancy and hope.
Lord, let your hand of blessing rest upon us and anoint us, to renew a right spirit within us. Secure in your mercy, we ask your blessing upon those we now name.
Amen.
