(Composed following the funeral for Sarah Milgrim)
Creator and Sustainer of us all:
Sometimes we are inconsiderate.
Help us to be generous in our spirit towards others.
Sometimes we destroy what should be preserved.
Lead us to pursue and promote restoration.
Sometimes we sabotage once-strong and positive relationships.
Teach us to be bridge-builders, even across our divisions.
Sometimes we miss all that we have in common.
Shine a light on what unites us.
Sometimes we fail to appreciate
the past and present kindnesses that we have received.
When we remember to be thankful,
Guide us to show our gratitude.
Sometimes our opinions become so narrow
That there is no possibility for us to be cooperative.
Renew our openness towards new ideas
And return us to the ways of compromise
As a demonstration of our perseverance and strength.
As You have given us wisdom in Your love,
May we show our love for You, Eternal One,
With all of our heart and soul.
