A Prayer for Saturday, August 16, 2014

With

O God,

Thank you that
you love us enough to
be with us.

Thank you that
you came to
be with us
in Jesus Christ our Lord
and
that you continue to
be with us
in your Holy Spirit.

Thank you that as you
make your home with us
you bind us together as
one great family
in one great home.

We want to love you
so much that we want to
be with you;
we want to love you
so much that we want to
be with you
for all eternity
starting with every moment
here and now.

We want to love you
so much that we want to
be with each other;
we want to love each other
so much that we are willing to
give ourselves up
for each other.

Thank you that
you are with us
and that
you call us to
be with you
and
to be with each other.

Let our lives reflect
the great community
of which we are
all members.

Amen.
