Gracious and ever-loving God, we come before You with fragile lives-with dreams, hearts, and bodies too often broken.
What can we believe except that You will not despise our broken hearts?
What can we believe except that only what is first broken, like bread, can be shared?
God of mercy, help our unbelief:
-that we may have the courage to love the enemies we have the integrity to make;
-that we may have the courage to continue beyond our little prayers and careful creeds to bring forth the just and beloved society that is within our capacity to create.
We trust in Your unfailing help.─AMEN.
