Prayer 2813



O God Our Shepherd,
Lord of Life and Light,
we give thanks for your drawing us safely
into the embrace of this new day.

You have placed us at the center
of a delicately filigreed web of life
carved by your own hand, O Infinite Wisdom.
We give thanks for the beauty that sustains our spirits
and for the infinite mercies that trail behind us,
our stepping stones toward deeper devotion to You,
O Christ our Savior.

Let our perspective take in all around us,
and give us the strength to hold each other in empathy,
O Merciful One.
Help us hold open a space for healing,
a space for reconciliation,
a space for mending sundered hearts and hopes
that we may practice the Way of Love
within our witness of your grace and mercy.

Spirit of God, breathe upon us and renew us,
and grant your angels charge
over those for whom we pray.

Amen.
