Prayer 3173



Holy One of Mystery,
Loving Ground of Being,
Creator of All,
we bow before you in wonder.

May our every breath be a prayer of gratitude and hope
that rises like the morning mist over still waters.

May we know peace by sowing peace,
and release all fear and anxiety
like autumn leaves that cast their blessings to the ground
to nourish the roots of tomorrow's growth.

May we, like the mockingbird, find our true song
in a heart of joy broadcast from the rooftops,
testifying to the gift of light ythst warms us
and love that bears us aloft--
all from You, O God:
Earth-maker, Companion, and Inspiring Force.

May the strength we have today be used to your service
and the service of our fellow-beings;
may the need we have today be laid at your feet.

May we be unafraid to ask for help,
and unafraid to offer the same to others,
looking always outward with eyes of compassion and grace.

Trusting in your unfailing mercy,
sealed by the Spirit of Truth,
O God of the Rising Wave,
we lift before you these beloveds as we pray.

Amen.
