Prayer 549

Window from the chapel at Holy Communion, University City.

Loving One, give us courage. Give us courage to strike out on the unmarked trail of this day, and welcome the gifts it holds out in promise. 

Give us the courage to admit our wrongs and seek reconciliation with those we have hurt. Give us courage to respond to strife and tumult with love and tranquility. 

Give us the courage to welcome the stranger among us as You have commanded, without worry or fear. Give us courage to let go of our fears and allow our wounds to heal rather than cling to them. 

Merciful One, give courage to all who seek your aid, that they may rest in assurance of your love.

Amen.
