Sunday Prayer

Holy and Gracious One,
God of our Mothers and Fathers,
we give you thanks,
this day
and every day.

Thank you
for this gift of life.
It is a precious blessing
from which we hope
to magnify Your Name.

Be with us
as we labor
through
this life.

Be with us
as we struggle
through pain.

Be with us
in our suffering.

Be with us
through the storms
the ice, snow, wind.
Real or metaphor.

Be with us
this day.

Be with us
as we labor
to birth
new life,
whatever
that new life might be.

Be with us
that we can be
your hands
and heart
in a broken world.

Amen.
