Prayer 2740: A Prayer for Guidance and Service


All-Merciful, Bountiful One,
Our Pole Star and Guiding Light,
we center our hearts and our minds in You,
grateful for your Love.

Fashioner of Light,
all the beauty that dances before us
is a gift from your bounty and loving-kindness:
may we glorify your Name in all the Earth!
Set us upon the rock of integrity and compassion,
O Benevolent God,
that we may survey the world
through the eyes of love,
and live this day steadfast in our faith.

Life Giver of All,
may we breathe in your Spirit today,
and place our wills and intentions
in the service of your gospel,
working for justice and liberation
in fulfillment of your commandments to us.
May we give thanks
for the communities in which we dwell,
and labor for the good of our neighbors
in testimony to your transformation of our lives,
O Birther of Creation.

Bend near, Lord Christ,
to gather us within your embrace this day
as we offer our prayers to you
in humility and trust.
Remember, O Lord,
the lost and the searching,
and grant your blessing to those we now name.

Amen.
