Lord...
You know how broken we all are
and so I'm on my knees today
to ask you to forgive our shallowness, our greed, and our weakness
I ask that you bring your light to all people
and show us how to love as your son did
That we might die a small death for one another daily
That we would give each other space to grow
and move together against wrongdoing
That we would give room
For different beliefs
without stereotyping, ignoring, depriving or devaluing others
Please reveal your will to all of those here as they seek Your face
and let your followers be the light of the world, the salt of the earth, and a city on a hill...
That we might put aside our differences
And walk towards You in love
Until you come again to abolish all death, all hatred, all suffering, and all confusion
And hold us in your arms for eternity
Watch over those who are caring for loved ones, worried about obligations, lonely, angry, and lost, and lead them to help, friends, and faith...
Heal the rifts between your Church and the gay community,
the tears between the Church and the multicultural community
the sinkholes between the Church and the handicapped
Because Jesus wept over Lazaras
I put my faith in you, dear Lord
Because you know our thoughts, our minds, our bodies
Even when I'm angry at You, or I don't understand You, I know You created them
And you are always just, merciful, loving and perfect...
