Loving Creator, You have been our God in the past, leading us from captivity to freedom.
You are the Spirit we admire and worship now beneath this colossal creation around us.
But mostly, You are the God of many names and infinite mystery,
Who draws us toward a world of justice and love,
Toward hope, toward creativity, and energetic life.
We thank You for all You promise as You reassure us of Your caring,
Speaking to the silent expectations of our hearts.
You are our God, and we seek to be Your hands and feet and heart.—AMEN.
