Monday Prayer: Sufficient Grace

God of grace and mercy, your love has no boundaries. 

Your power does not discriminate. 

Your healing does not favor one race, ethnicity, or creed. 

In a world that teaches a false scarcity of resources and preaches the false gospel of blessedness through prosperity, help us to understand your grace is enough.

 It is enough to help us live in trust. 

It is enough to carry us into and through faithful action. 

It is enough to open our minds to new and imaginative ways to bring all people together for the sake of peace, for sake of community, for the sake of Jesus. 

Hear our prayer, O God. 

And, in your mercy, answer us. 

Sunday Prayer: All Saints' Day - Grace Unbound

Holy One, God of all that was and is and ever will be

Bless all the saints with the light of your love

Bless those who have gone before us and

those who are with us still and

those who will be 

Holy One, God of all that was and is and ever will be

Set the clock of our hearts for the days ahead

Set our hearts on gratitude and hope

Set our hearts on love, you

and all that will be

Holy One, God of all that was and is and ever will be

Help us in our time of tribulation and anxiety

those who are weary from the storms

hurricanes and life, politics and elections

and all that will be

Holy One, God of all that was and is and ever will be

Guide us with your compassion, teach us

to rise and follow you, even when bound

by fear and constrained by stuff

- all that is and will be

Holy One, God of all that was and is and ever will be

Fill our anxious hearts with peace, let us hear

Jesus' words, "Come" and "unbind him"

Unbind her, unbind us. Let us all reach out

in love unbound for what is and ever will be.

Amen.
