Active and moving God,
People, communities, and creation are hurting.
Sorrow, disease, unrest, conflict, misuse and isolation are taking their toll.
I see pain and struggle all around me.
Give me courage as you send me out with good news.
Help me to share your love with the people I encounter.
Show me how to live peace and justice.
Guide me to live out forgiveness.
Teach me to share and live your good news.
Use me as you transform the world.
Help me to live in the hope that your presence brings to our world.
Teach me to love your children.
Give me courage and go with me, each day.
Amen.
