Here is a prayer for All Saints’ Day from Christine Jerrett. It was posted on her Christine Jerrett blog (see below for link).
All Saints’ Day Prayer: Set in the Company of Saints
You
are our God and we are Your people,
and
we are grateful that You have claimed us as your own.
You
have set us in the company of saints past
and present,
among
those who have made bold witness
to
Your goodness and Your truth.
Your
Word opens up new futures
where
we see no way forward.
You
know the places in our hearts
where
we are afraid
—
afraid of a future we cannot control;
—
afraid of losing health and independence
—
afraid for the well-being of our children
—
afraid that past mistakes will ruin our future
Write
the stories of your people deep into our hearts
so
that we may learn to trust you beyond our fears.
Give
us hearts and minds and spirits
ready
to trust and follow wherever your Spirit leads,
confident
that you will not lead us
beyond
your loving embrace.
We
ask in Jesus’ name
whose
outstretched arms welcome us
and
hold us securely in your grace.
