Prayer Offered for August 31, 2026

God of all nations and peoples, with the pieces of our broken dreams, with unfinished resolves and fragments of love, we give thanks for the good we have been able to accomplish. We trust forgiveness for all left undone and hope for the seeds planted and nurtured to take a hold in our hearts. May grace infect our wills, and capture our imaginations for all that faith makes possible. Help us to be just, loving, merciful, grateful, and compassionate. Free us from envy, cruelty, violence, boasting, prejudice, scapegoating, and malice towards anyone. Help us to be loving, as You are, loving God. Namaste. Thanks be to God.—AMEN.
