Eternal One,
Creator and Sustainer of All,
Help to those in distress,
Support to those targeted through hatred
Inspiration to those who seek to treat others with respect and love,
Enable us to see the Divine Image in which every person was fashioned.
Teach us to engage in dialogue even when it might seem impossible.
Grant us the patience to sustain conversations
to the point of finding common ground.
Remind us that face-to-face discussions
can turn misunderstandings into newly shared perspectives.
Keep us far from accusations that have no basis
Distance us from information about any person
that has no grounding in fact or reality.
Empower us to overcome barriers
that assist assist the insidious spread of fear and animosity.
Unite us in our resolve to build a community
that reflects the vision of Your Oneness,
Where cooperation, compassion and partnership
facilitate the formation of lasting bonds of relationship and friendship.
Be with us,
And walk alongside us in our work to make our sacred space
And this entire world
A true Bayt-El, a house filled with Your presence.
Amen
