O Divine Spirit, breath of life, we gather in this place, in this body to do Your work and in that serve Your people. Before we engage in the consuming business of the afternoon and into the week, it is good to pause and breathe, and remember why we are here.
We come from many different places, leaving loved ones behind. Some of us carry heavy burdens including personal concerns. Help us to trust in Your care of these situations left at home so we may be fully present here.
Inspire us with Your wisdom, guide us with Your grace, and when tensions rise, calm us with Your Spirit. Help us to listen deeply to You and to others, and bless us this day. ─AMEN.
