Our Father in heaven,
loving Parent and Creator,
tender Mother,
we pray that your name be made holy.
Let what we do hallow your Name,
for it is through our actions that You are made known.
Let the words of our mouths enlighten darkness,
dispel enmity,
and heal ancient wounds.
Let us act honorably and compassionately
toward the least in our society,
that all may live together in justice and peace.
Let us remember that your Love is a sacred calling,
and that as your people
we minister in Your Name in everything we do.
Grant us the strength to be gentle
and the wisdom to be foolish
in the name of Love.
Watch over those
whose needs we now remember,
especially those we now name.
Amen.
--Leslie Scoopmire, from my prayer blog
