Almighty God, set your seal upon our hearts
as we rise and seek to be a blessing
in this day that You have made:
glory and praise be yours forever!
Save us from the presumption
of speaking only
and not opening our ears
to hear your blessing
breathed through even the winter trees.
May we ever know your call to faithfulness
echoed within the thrum of our hearts,
beating out your repeated blessing
through the miracle of this day, your gift to us
to practice reconciliation
and take up your healing work in the world.
Blessed Savior,
may our hearts blaze with your love today,
that we choose to walk in integrity and hope,
tearing down the barriers we erect by fear and distrust
when we fail to treat one another with honor and dignity.
As we bear your Name, may we embody your truth.
Bless the hands that heal and minister today,
and grant your peace to those for whom we pray.
Amen.
