Sunday Prayer: Lent 4C - Prodigal Grace

Holy and Gracious God

You, the one of prodigal grace
We give you thanks for the gift of life
and for the blessings of this life,

for family and friends and

love abundant.

 
 

Lead us through the trials
the suffering and sorrow
the challenges and struggles
the tired time, despair and bleak places,

back to you, and

love abundant.

Be with those who weep
or cannot sleep
who have no peace
who seek release

and comfort them with

love abundant.

Fill us with hope, 

sustained in your mercy,
with patience and stamina

upheld by your Holy Spirit

in your prodigal grace.

Transform us and all our broken ways 

transforms us that we can be
made whole

And in wholeness
may we
be
the hands and heart of Christ.

Amen.
