Prayer

Page H4627 · Official text

The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the following prayer: God of compassion, love, and mercy, You have reconciled us to yourself, generously and patiently offering us opportunity after opportunity to return to Your embrace. On this day, may we draw ever closer to You, to do Your will and not pursue our own desires, to strive to speak Your truth and not to bend our words to suit our story, and to serve as examples of faith and not as those paralyzed by fear. Soften our hardened hearts and ease our anxious minds that we would obey Your commandments and trust in Your provision. Guide us on the path You would have us go. Show us again the depth of Your steadfast and abiding love. May we respond with gratitude and delight, living this day and every day, reflecting the grace of Your unconditional love and sharing the peace of Your divine nature. In Your eternal name, we pray. Amen.
