Prayer

God we pray for a world of radical inclusion, a home for all.

Today we pray for all those in our community who do not know themselves called, who do not experience themselves as being worthy of being called by anyone for any reason.

Today we pray for all of those who truly wonder if life can have a meaning and a purpose, those who are sure that if it does, it does not include them.

We pray today for all who feel that they are on the outside looking in on community, those who can find no way and no reason to participate.

We pray also for all of those who we have intentionally excluded, all who have come to this land seeking refuge and safety whom we have locked up, and treated harshly, unjustly and illegally.

We pray that they will receive justice.

God we pray for a world of radical inclusion, a home for all.

And we pray in the name of the great includer, Jesus.

Amen.
