We gather our thoughts
and center our hearts on You, O Lord of Life,
seeking your guidance
as we give thanks for your unfailing love.
May we witness to your glory, O God of All,
telling out your faithfulness and care
as you call us to renewed hope and courage.
May we ever sing out our thanks
for your abundant grace and mercy,
for your saving help both past and yet to come.
May we be tender stewards and caretakers of creation,
remembering our dependence upon this good Earth
and all that dwells within and upon it.
May we confess our failures with honesty and humility,
and do whatever we can
to repair the damage we have done
through carelessness, avarice, or contempt
to ourselves and each other.
May ewe remember
that we are bearers of your name, Lord Christ,
called to discipleship and love.
Help us stand against the evils among us,
and reject inaction in the face of wrongdoing.
Lord, we ask for your blessing and your grace,
and ask your peace and light to rest upon those
whose needs we lift before You.
Amen.
