O God,
You see the whole world with eyes of compassion and care.
You bring good news, release, recovery, and freedom to all people.
You are eager to transform everything.
Your expansive love reaches places I could never imagine.
Your embrace enfolds people I can barely tolerate.
Your healing brings new hope and new beginnings for us all.
Help me begin to see the world as you do.
Loosen the tightness of my heart.
Open the stinginess in my spirit.
Show me how your good news will overflow and transform.
Show me that your healing and hope will bring new beginnings everywhere.
Show me that freedom for all who are oppressed is just the start of how you are making all things new.
Amen.
beyond limits | Jesus at the Synagogue in Nazareth from Luke 4
