Inspiration for the Day, April 12, 2012:
Opening prayer at my church last November:
Creator God breathed into emptiness and created all that is.
With love and care, God shaped the world in all its diversity - with mountains and valleys, rivers and deserts, and people of all colors and sizes.
And threading through it all are beautiful dreams of justice, compassion, liberation, and peace.
O God, creator of our past, our present, and our future, we thank you for the many blessings you bestow on us each moment. Be with us now. Draw near to us as we draw near to you. Lead us in paths of righteousness. Fill our hearts with compassion and a thirst for justice. Teach us to be co-creators, with You, of a world where we all belong and share in the abundance you have given us.
