Gracious…Ever Loving…Divine One… We call upon you in this very difficult time for so many in our world. In You we have always found hope for humanity. As we move through our world, we remember that you have called us to be the Christ-bearers and we pray the journey that you have invited us to share becomes ever more clear to us, even when it is difficult, or murky or contrary to our plans. You have called us to be your Christ-bearers and we long to live into that journey. We humbly ask that You help us respond courageously to that call in both traditional and in new ways so that we may bring a new dawning in our world. Strengthen our resolve to shun a return to the normal and to work instead as courageous and dedicated disciples of the Christ, bringing the Christ into the world with every step we take. Fill us with unquenchable longing to be your workers. Fill us to overflowing with your love and goodness. Make us your Christ-bearers. In the perfect name of Jesus we pray.
