Prayer 1234

The four evangelists; detail from the pulpit at Vanderbilt Divinity School.

Lord Christ, Beloved Shepherd, keep us as the sheep of your pasture, and hear our chorus of praise. Let us join with the stars that sing the dawn into being, and rise in the morning to give praise to the Creator, Holy and Loving! 

Abide with us through fair weather or foul, through heartbreak and joy, O Spirit of Healing and Peace. Turn our hands and hearts toward good, and our mouths to praise and faithfulness. Make us instruments of peace and healing in the world, that we may proclaim the Truth of God in all things. 

Holy One, watch over and bless your servants, we humbly pray, especially those we now name.

Amen.
