God,
there are too many walls,
too many locked doors,
too many glass ceilings.
Help me, God,
to move the blind and let the light in.
I want to see what you see.
to open the window and let the fresh air in.
I want to breathe in your grace
God,
give me the courage to walk with the marginalized,
the strength to overcome my bias and prejudice,
and the patience to deal with those
who forsake our brothers and sisters.
Help me, God,
to persevere when obstacles block me,
to persist when complications confuse me,
to refocus when distractions sidetrack me
to find a way.
God,
give me the equanimity to press on
when I’m told, ‘no’
and the prudence to not be over-confident
when I’m told ‘yes’.
Help me, God,
to always be willing to listen
to hear what you hear.
to talk the talk and walk the walk
to be a power for good
God,
I am grateful for your grace,
appreciate your blessings
and celebrate our harmony.
Help me, God,
to be in perfect union,
not one, not two.
To be kind and gentle
resting assured with your love
