Prayer and Deepest Sympathy
Prayer energises the heart of a believer through the power of the Spirit
God of All Creation
Again, this Advent we take time to bow to the sacred in all creation.
May our spirits fill the world with beauty and wonder.
May our minds seek truth with humility and openness.
May our hearts forgive without limit.
May our love for friend, enemy, and outcast be without measure.
May our needs be few and our living simple.
May our actions bear witness to the suffering of others.
May our hands never harm a living being.
May our steps stay on the journey of justice.
May our tongues speak for those who are poor, without fear of the powerful.
May our prayers rise with patient discontent until no child is hungry.
May our life's work be a passion for peace and nonviolence.
May our souls rejoice in the present moment.
May our imagination overcome death and despair with new possibilities.
And may we risk reputation, comfort, and security to bring this hope to all creation.
As Jesus of Nazareth, the babe of Bethlehem, Emmanuel God with us,
showed all creation a new way of being.
Amen
