FEATHER: Creator God, today we, the children of your creation, come before you with open hearts. Hear our prayer. Lift from us the clouds of confusion and despair, especially in these days of conflict. Humble us to see your peace and light, that we might walk with strength, seeking only your will. Forgive us when we speak only to hear our voice when we should be speaking for the voiceless and oppressed in our midst. Forgive us when the cost seems too daunting and we hesitate to do what we are called to do.

Build us up to be love, forgiveness and peace, and to bless as we are blessed. Open our eyes to truth and the meaning of ministry in your church. Take our hand........
