God,
You are a God of love and mercy, who created the entire universe and calls it…calls us…to you. And today God, we long to be in your presence, to know you, to feel your arms around us, to feel you lifting us up. God we need healing, we need grace, we need peace, we need forgiveness. Please, God, we need you.
God, we face so many things that seem to work against us, so many things that seem to work against you and your desires for us and all creation. But we know that ultimately it is you before whom all knees will bend, that crying and sorrow will be no more, that you will reign with love and mercy over all creation, and we are grateful for that hope.
Help us to take our place in standing up for your kingdom. Help us to order our lives so that they point us and others to you.
God give us eyes to see you in all your glory. And God give us ears to hear your words of peace and hope.
God, we love you. We thank you for everything we have. Most of all we thank you for your Son, who ensures our victory over sin and death, and for your Holy Spirit, who encourages us and strengthens us to serve you and your people everyday.
Amen.
