loving Parent and Creator,
tender Mother,
deliver us from evil,
for we depend upon You wholly
when our courage falters
and our integrity is challenged.
Strengthen us in faith,
O Shield and Refuge of Refugees,
that we may renounce the sin
of claiming helplessness
rather than acknowledge our participation
in systems of oppression and inhumanity.
O Lord Our Banner,
Opener of Blind Hearts,
enlighten our hearts and minds
that You may set us free
from the miserliness of spirit
that besets us in the face of fear and division.
Teach us to walk humbly
in the Way of Jesus,
that we may seek to perfect our devotion
even when it is inconvenient.
Instead, may we ever embrace those fleeing evil
just as You embrace and sustain us each day.
O Loving One, hear our prayers
and grant your benediction and grace
to those whose needs we now raise before You.
Amen.
