Oh God who
created all things including humans, we praise your name for you faithfulness.
We praise
you just as all of the creatures of the earth sing your praise.
We look
forward to that day when we live with you in our eternal home.
In the
meantime come make your home in us.
Come into
our neighborhoods, our work places, our schools.
Come live in
us Lord.
We await the
day when every tear will be wiped away and there will be no more grieving.
In the
meantime Lord, wipe our tears when we do mourn our losses, like those in West
Texas after the explosion.
We look for
the day when there will be no more sickness, in the meantime when we are ailing
bring your healing touch to our lives.
We look for
the day when all things will be new,
in the meantime renew our tired land, our old
falling down housing, our broken systems, our empty spaces of worship and our
aging bodies.
We await
that day Lord, when your justice, your love, your mercy rules and thy kingdom
has come.
Amen
