God of many names,
God of LGBTQIA+,
God of divine love,
we thank you for Pride Month,
a vibrant celebration of courage, truth, and love.

Thank you for our LGBTQIA+ community—
lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual,
and all who live beyond labels—
who inspire us with resilience and authenticity.

As an ally, I pray for strength to stand with them,
to honor their stories,
and to build a world where love knows no bounds,
and all are free to live and love fully.

Amen.
