Our
Father in heaven,

Your
Kingdom come,
your will be done,

We
pray for your vision of justice and mercy
to be made real in our world even now.

Give

We
pray for your vision of enough;
enough sustenance, enough warmth, enough healing
for all of your children.

Forgive
us our sins,
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

We
pray for the grace to let go of that which is death dealing
as we embrace your vision for life,
that we might follow you safely through the obstacle course.

For
the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours.
Now and forever.

Giving
thanks for presence that defies definition
