O God, we lift our hearts to You,
remembering your grace and encouragement,
and praising You from the depths of our being.
You know our joys and our pains, God our Savior:
may we hear your repeated comfort,
your daily reminder to not be afraid,
as we navigate the changing landscape of our lives.
Reshape our hearts
like clay upon your wheel,
O Lover of Our Souls,
that we learn patience and kindness.
May we pull up the rancor and greed
that seeks to sprout up in our hearts
in response to uncertainty and fear,
and instead turn to You and each other
in gratitude and generosity of spirit.
Eternal God,
enlighten us by your Spirit
to be a blessing this day,
and grant your comfort
to those whose cares we lay before You.
Amen.
