Dear God,
We thank you for our school, the schools surrounding us, our churches, workplaces and community.
We ask for your help in being a light in every place you’ve given us. Give us care and wisdom as we live in unity with one another. Help us to look to another’s needs before our own, and to always be ready to serve those around us. Lord, even in every dark and broken place, for the times we feel like we’re barely making it through, give us your joy, your grace and the powerful presence of your peace.
Ephesians 4:23 says, "be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." May this be what we strive for as we live in community with each other.
In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
