Creating God,
we sing before You,
opening our hearts to your truth,
and praising your holy Name:
hear our humble prayers,
and lead us in lovingkindness this day.
Wash us clean
of the fear that is the foundation of all our basest impulses:
greed, selfishness, tribalism, hopelessness, and violence.
Grant us the wisdom
to let go of all that harms our souls,
lashing out from our own woundedness and pain.
May we welcome your healing, O God,
and lean into the beauty of your love.
Give us the ability
to turn our wills to the relief of the suffering,
and the compassion to place ourselves alongside those
in any need or trouble,
that we may worship You, Lord Christ, and not ourselves.
Holy One, we are all your children:
help us grow in wisdom, grace, and generosity.
Set our feet within the paths of justice and peace,
and place your comfort upon all for whom we pray.
Amen.
