A Prayer for Our Community
We pray for our community,
for our life together.
We live in a world with brokenness;
may we be healers.
We live in a world with pain;
may we give compassion.
We live in a world with wrong;
may we find justice.
We live in a world with ugliness;
may we be beauty.
We live in a world with meaninglessness;
may we share the good news
that every life matters
from beginning to end, and long after the end
and that we must care for each other
for any of us to succeed,
friend and stranger alike,
across all differences.
+++
Make us your power
for good
in this place and time,
forever.
Amen.
