Gracious God, Beautiful Light,
with the whole host of heaven
we declare your goodness!
We lean on your steadfast love
as we plead: come and help us.
We are scrambling for peace
but finding chaos,
searching for blessing
but overwhelmed by trouble.
Interrupt our worries with a vision
of purpose and delight.
Lead us to the waters of healing
amidst the work of our days,
throughout our rest,
and in our dreaming.
Open our hearts to know
your presence among us
and in each person we meet.
Bless us, to your glory we pray. Amen.
