Mysterious God,
unobtainable, incomprehensible, unfathomable,
yet closer to us than any other.
Take our questions and our doubts
use them to grow our faith in you,
so we may reflect your love and glory in the world.
Holy Parent, Holy Christ, Holy Spirit,
reach out to those in need a this time,
those who are ill, lonely, bereaved, anxious…
Use us as your hands to reach out in love.
Creator, Redeemer, Sustainer
be with those who are working hard to help others,
those who tend, care, nurture, deliver, heal, support…
Use us as your hands to reach out in love.
Maker, Word, Spirit,
guide your church so we may truly be your disciples on earth,
help us minister, preach, teach, lead, enable, serve, love…
Use us as yours hand to reach out in love.
Father, Son, Holy Spirit,
rebuke those who selfishly put themselves first and oppress others,
those with power who control, manipulate, lie, hurt, destroy…
Use us as your hands to reach out in love.
Mothering God, Mothering Christ, Mothering Spirit,
embrace us in the wonder of your love,
be near us, beside us and within us,
our Source, Saviour and Guide.
Amen.
