Eternal God,
give us wisdom
to see the big picture.
Creating God,
give us imagination
to live differently.
Patient God,
give us perseverance
for the long haul.
Suffering God,
give us courage
to work for justice.
Gentle God,
give us humility and trust
to practice non-violence.
Hopeful God,
give us confidence
in the power of love.
Crucified God,
give us faith to reach out
to you who are always rising.
Loving God,
give us your grace
for the days to come.
