Prayer 2396


Holy One, we praise You
and bless your Holy Name:
receive our prayers.

We live within a cloud of blessing,
and are sustained by your tender care and mercy:
guide us into sharing that love today
with the oppressed and the outcast among us,
standing alongside them in faith
against the forces of cruelty and contempt.

Inspire us to be like Jesus
that we may be agents on reconciliation,
helping hands of healing and comfort,
and bearers of God's love into the darkness.

By the power of the Holy Spirit
bless and sanctify us to your service, O God,
and pour out your comfort on those for whom we pray.

Amen.
