God of all Creation, pour your Spirit into me this day.
May all I do speak truth, embody peace, walk in the footsteps of justice for all people.
Fill me with discernment.
Align me with goodness.
Show me beauty in all moments of doubt.
Send me where your light needs to shine.
Always and in everything, God of Grace, may your love prevail …
in cold homes
in dark prison cells
in empty stomachs
in violent words
in abuse
in lies
in brokenness
in emptiness
in places of power
in powerlessness
in poverty
in tears
in hearts and minds
in words and actions
may justice and right prevail.
Amen.
