whose hands have tenderly
shaped and molded all that is:
hear our prayer,
for we rely upon your grace and favor.
Help us to call upon
the better angels of our nature
to seek the good of others,
and to love each other as kindred.
Give us patient endurance
and hope in adversity,
knowing you are with us always, Lord Christ,
steadfast in mercy
and abounding in empathy
with our anxieties and pain.
By the power of the Holy Spirit,
guide and direct us in the ways of holiness,
O Holy One, O Blessed Three,
and pitch the tent of your healing over those we now name.
Amen.
