Gracious and loving Creator, you want only wholeness and peace for us and for this world, yet we’re awash in brokenness and conflict. May we return to you and make your way our way. Wise and steadfast Teacher, you want only justice and abundance for us and for our world, yet we build systems and live daily in ways that leave people out. May we return to you and make your way our way. Holy and faithful Spirit, you want only Wisdom and Truth for us, yet we distract ourselves and foul the planet with what we know is trash. May we return to you with hope in our hearts and make your way our way.
