Holy God, Our Shield and Our Redeemer,
you have brought us in safety to this new day,
refreshed and renewed by the cool springs of rest,
shielded by the awning of your love and mercy.
May we guide each step today
by your reconciling, healing love, Blessed Savior,
that the world will know your healing presence
through our living witness--
through our care of each other
and of this good earth upon which we depend.
Spirit of the Living God,
lead us in paths of integrity and holiness,
growing in wisdom, faithfulness, and hope,
that our hearts may be filled with your compassion
and we proclaim our gratitude for your grace.
Lord Jesus, you share our fears and our sorrows,
our hopes and our joys:
may we abide within your loving embrace,
knowing that you walk alongside us with every step we take.
Have mercy on all who are in turmoil or danger, O God,
and give your angels charge over all who weep or worry,
especially those whose needs we lift before You.
Amen.
