God of our ancestors
Who lived through challenges and turmoil,
Times of despair
as well as milestones of joy and achievement,
Be with us now
As we seek peace and rest every night
So that we will have renewed strength to
Face the day to come.
Hold us in Your infinite wisdom
so that our experiences and commitment
Will enable us to build bridges across ideological divides.
Support us in Your shelter of blessing
So that we can reach out to those who are hurting
In a way that they will accept our sincere efforts
to offer our care and help.
Guide us to keep our focus on the sacred ties of love
That hold us together as partners
And direct us to refuse to give in
to the temptation to wield power
in ways that will cause freedom and justice
To depart from this world.
When we speak of unity, may it be based
Not on a human definition, narrow in its scope,
But, rather, may it derive from the Oneness
That emanates from Your presence
Which serves as the foundation of our very existence
As members of one family, bound together in hope.
