Prayer 2539


Blessed Savior, Prince of Peace, 
you are the Way, the Truth, and the Light: 
may we offer you our hearts and minds today. 
May we see God in each other,
and turn away from anger and division.

May we rebuke those who wish for the pain of others
so that they may prosper,
and pull down the thrones of oppression
that we support without thinking,
in the name of the One who created all things
and endows us with each breath.

Let us rather use our breath for song and praise,
use our hands for healing and repair,
use our hearts for the blessing of our neighbors,
and embody generosity and faithfulness
in the name of the God we worship.

May we place ourselves before your altars,
O Creator and Sustainer,
inviting the Holy Spirit to loose her power within us, 
that we be willing to follow in the Way of Love.

Holy God, we rest within your shelter
so that we may be strengthened to persevere in faith:
pour out your peace and compassion upon those for whom we pray.

Amen.
