Prayer Offered for August 16, 2021

Gracious and loving God, You beckon to us from a future abundant in grace, full of challenge, and rich in possibility. In the coming months, we ask You for the grace:

To live deeply, with purpose.

To live freely, with detachment.

To live wisely, with humility.

To live justly, with compassion.

To live lovingly, with fidelity.

To live mindfully, with consciousness.

To live gratefully, with generosity.

To live fully, with enthusiasm.

May all we do these days be for the transformation of hearts and relationships, and the graced unfolding of all creation.

Fill us with Your peace as we look to the past with gratitude, live with the present with passion, and embrace the future with hope.

We ask this in Your name.—AMEN.
