fill us with joy as
we gather before You,
and accept our praises
as we raise them on high.
Give us the wisdom
to examine our lives, Beloved Savior,
and the will to persevere
as your disciples,
casting off our weariness
after being fed by your Word.
Give us hearts
open to self-sacrifice and integrity;
let us engage your ministry in the world,
O God of Hope.
Bless us and keep us
as the apple of your eye, O Holy One,
and hear the whispered prayers of your people
as we lift our prayers and petitions before You, Lord Christ,
especially for those we now name.
Amen.
