Prayer 1965: opening the gates of our hearts


Ever-watchful, Ever-loving God,
we are refreshed within your tender embrace:
we lift our hearts to you in prayer,
and thank you for all your gifts to us.

Let us sing out your praise with our lives,
and walk in gratitude, wisdom, and kindness
as living testaments to the power of your gospel of love.

Guide us to live with integrity
and generosity of spirit, Lord Christ:
teach us and gentle us,
that we may serve you and each other
in the name of true justice and peace.

May we open the gates of our hearts,
that the Spirit of Healing may live within us,
and direct us to paths of reconciliation and hope.

Merciful God, place the seal of your love upon our hearts,
and pour out the balm of your blessing upon these beloveds for whom we pray.

Amen.
