Prayer for All Saints
Holy
One
of days and nights,
of sinners and saints,
of right and left
and everything between and beyond,
We are grateful for all Your presence
of days and nights,
of sinners and saints,
of right and left
and everything between and beyond,
We are grateful for all Your presence
that
abides in every corner of our living.
You
lurk quietly in the loneliest places in our hearts,
keeping
watch.
You grieve with us in our devastations,
You grieve with us in our devastations,
our
losses, our fears.
You journey with us in our celebrations, our defeats,
You journey with us in our celebrations, our defeats,
and
even in the monotony of our days.
You delight in us, and love us.
You delight in us, and love us.
May
we live in that love and delight,
knowing
that as we sink into You we might become more like You,
wanting
life and grace for this world
and
all peoples and creatures that live upon it.
We
pray for this world,
for the places and precious people
for the places and precious people
who
are striving to recover from hurricanes
and
floods and raging fires.
We
pray for peace among nations,
and make us instruments of that peace.
and make us instruments of that peace.
We
pray for our children and our youth
that
they may be surrounded by protection,
and
also be challenged to be all of who they have been created to be.
We
give you thanks,
for
all of the saints in our lives,
those
who are living and those of blessed memory.
We
pray this prayer for Love’s sake,
Amen.
Amen.
