God of all nations and peoples, remind us of goodness and generosity. Bless us with honesty, truth, and honor. Save us from the privilege of forgetting those who are struggling today. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; save us from pride and arrogance; and save us from cynicism and despair. In our moments of prosperity, give us grateful hearts. In our moments of hurt and pain, turn us to trust and deeper faith. Kindle hope in our words and thoughts for the goodness that is in us and others. Namaste. Thanks be to God.—AMEN.
