O God, You have taken us up and upheld us in your embrace: let us sing out our thanksgiving for your mercy. You are our God and our refuge, and we are glad to sing praises to your name. Give us strength to persevere and patience with those who challenge us, O Holy One. Mold us and shape us, we pray, that we may be vessels of light and truth that draw all people before your banner. May we remember that the eyes of the world are upon those who claim the name of Christ. May we act with compassion, honor, and steadfast love for all, that our lives be testimony to your glory. Rest your hand of blessing upon those who call upon You.
Amen.
