Approach 4
God of blessings,
We are thankful that we are not alone,
that we have been placed in community.
We are thankful that we live in your world;
A world skewed towards good and not evil;
a world which rates compassion
higher than complacency;
a world where love is cherished and
creatively expressed.
Confront and stir us from dullness of perception;
forgive our lack of response to your Spirit.
Sharpen our awareness of holy ground;
Prompt us to turn aside and see wonders.
Forgive us if we have made your world less loving
and help us live life as your daughters and sons,
actively engaged in life’s wonders and concerns.
Forgive us for times when we have over-reacted,
and for times when we have lagged in zeal.
Encourage us to speak the truth we know
and to act in love wherever love is needed.
Enable us to live in your strength and power,
liberated for the possibilities of the future. Amen.
