Merciful One,
You created us for praise
and bless us with your love:
how can we keep from singing?
We lift our restless hearts to You, O God,
for You are our home and our protector.
Fill us to overflowing
with your abundant grace and mercy,
that we may burn bright with your glory
and be blessings to those we meet today.
May we keep our feet firmly
in the path of your lovingkindness today, Lord Jesus:
gentle us and strengthen us in holiness and forbearance.
May we be just as thankful at our lying down
as we are at our rising, O Spirit of the Living God,
marveling at the richness of your care.
Grant your pardon for all our offenses,
give us courage to speak truth to power,
and pour out your peace over those we now name.
Amen.
