O Lord, Our God,
who blesses us with breath and determination,
we lift our prayers to You,
and still ourselves to hear your voice:
Speak, O God, for your servants are listening.
Our hope and our trust is in You,
O Holy One, Creator of All That Is,
who adorns creation with beauty
and blesses the human heart
with the capacity for love and justice.
May we walk in the pathways of equity and right,
casting away prejudice to discern what is holy--
for we are called to kinship with all
just as You, O God, created us all in your image.
Let us work for the building of your kingdom,Beloved Savior,
and enshrine your gospel precepts within us
that we may be witnesses and exemplars of your truth.
Spread the tent of your mercy over us,
O Great Redeemer and Spirit of Wisdom,
and gather us all into one flock,
for though we are prone to wander,
yet You are ever by our sides.
Grant your mercy and grace to all
whose needs we raise before You,
as we humbly pray.
Amen.
