Singer of Life,
Upon your bass line, we seek the vibrations of movement and light,
stirring our souls in seeking your Spirit.
We search for the poetry of inspiration and aspiration,
words for healing healing and touch for nurture.
Thirsty, we ask for living water.
Painter of Visions,
You have prepared the panel for our contributions,
guiding us to name the elements of your masterpiece.
We utter the sounds of joyful gratitude,
naming potential, possibility and promise.
Dimly, we ask for light.
Stitcher of threads,
You lay the warps and wefts,
inviting the story-threads into reunions of communities.
We embroider and purl our patterns
into a greater design of sacred proportions.
Deftly, our fingers seek your grasp.
Shaper of clay,
You press and mold and throw,
working us into identity and refining into beauty.
Patiently, we rest before you,
waiting upon your merciful touch.
In humility,, we beg your attention.
For such is the prayer of those in mission,
Seeking vibrations, sounding thanks, making patterns, and waiting upon you…
Yesterday, today and tomorrow,
read our hearts and grant that, by your grace,
We may serve You, in your mission in this world and for what is yet to come.
AMEN
