Meet us where we are, O God.
And just as we are.
Strong and fragile.
Whole and broken.
Hopeful and sad.
Meet us as we are;
Doing our best to find our way;
Trying our best to live with open minds and open hearts and open hands;
Turning our eyes and our lives in the direction of Your Kingdom come.
Meet us where we are, O God.
Right here.
Right now.
And, then call us to more, O God.
Your more.
Let our prayers also reach out into the world
Entrusted now to our care and keeping.
Let our prayers reach out to all who find themselves in need.
The hungry. The displaced. The forgotten. The victims.
And let our prayers encircle all who sing and dance for joy.
Our children.
Those who breathe in deeply the promise of today.
Those who do their best to love long and well.
And, as always, O God…
May our lives follow where our prayers first lead.
