Prayer, day 838

Loving God, you have given us this new day: may we fill it with acts of compassion to others. May we be renewed in faith and courage to carry your Love into the world. May we boldly proclaim your Name and represent it with open hearts, open minds, and open hands. May we walk gently upon the Earth, embracing your creation as You embrace us. May we encourage each other in walking the pilgrim path, hand in hand with each other as your people. And may your Spirit hover over those beloveds for whom we pray this day, especially those we now name.

Amen.
