O God,
You are the source of my life and everything I am.
Like a branch growing from the vine, I am nourished and sustained by you.
My whole being is in and from you.
Help me to embrace this connection, and to dwell in your love.
Help me as I share your compassion and care for the world around me.
Help me to bring forgiveness and healing into my relationships.
Help me see the needs of others and respond to them.
Help me to bear fruit that comes from who you are and who you help me be.
Amen
