Breath of Life (alternative Lord's Prayer)

Breath of Life,
   In whom we live and move and have our being,
   Your presence fills all of Creation.
May justice and mercy reign,
   In our lives and in our world.
Today may our bellies be full,
   Our hearts warm,
   And our fellowship open.
May we reconcile with the people we’ve hurt,
   Just as we reconcile with the people who’ve hurt us.
Lead us not into a time of trial,
   But deliver us from evil.
For wherever grace and community abide,
   There you are with us;
   W e are not alone.

Blessed be.
