Blessed Creator, You have promised those You love rest;
Give us restoring rest needed for life’s toil;
Let Your Spirit make our time of rest
a blessed temple of Christ’s holy presence.
Merciful Father,
May Your love permeate our lives today.
May it flow freely from our hearts,
our mouths, and our thumbs,
Almighty God, hear our cries; cries of despair perhaps barely even audible, cries of pain so loud they echo.
Lord, as You wept over Jerusalem, we know even now Your heart breaks over the brokenness of sin and injustice caused. May it break our hearts as well.
Read MoreLord, make me an instrument of your peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is discord, union;
where there is doubt, faith;
