Holy One, as we pause before the day begins,
be with us as you have always been ...
Open our eyes to new possibilities,
to overlooked and unheeded calls to faith,
to needs and yearnings within ourselves,
and in our community ...
Be with us as we make our way into our day ...
Guide our steps,
hold our hearts,
inspire our spirits,
and open our minds to you and your Holy Call ...
From the deserts of Sinai,
to the wild places of Northern Canada,
to the busy urban centres of our cities,
to the profound aloneness of the open ocean,
you are there to guide, inspire, nurture and accompany us
whether we see or acknowledge you or not ...
Be with us in our day O Holy One,
hold us in your shalom, and carry us in your love ...
Inspire us to become the people you yearn us to be,
show us the way of your faith and grace,
and help us to move into the world unafraid
to be your Church and to be your Children ...
Be with us in the quiet moments
and in the busy hush ...
Be with us always ...
