God,
You are enough for us;
you give us rest in soft fields
and beside whispering streams;
you restore and renew us,
and lead us into life-giving ways;
People:
When death and evil come close to us,
When death and evil come close to us,
you carry us through,
you protect and comfort us;
when others seek to do us harm,
your grace uplifts and provides for us
in public view;
you fill us with your strength
and we enjoy overflowing abundance;
Unison:
We have confidence that your goodness and compassion
We have confidence that your goodness and compassion
will fill our days,
and we will stay immersed in your life and presence
forever. Amen.

Morning Prayer
(inspired by John 17)
Jesus,
just as you prayed for your disciples so long ago
Pray for us,
Pray for our wellbeing,
Pray for our protection.
Pray for your joy to be made complete in us.
Pray for our spiritual growth.
Pray for your truth to be made complete in us.

Jesus,
we often do not know how to pray,
So pray for us,
Pray with us,
That we may be one with you,
One with each other, and
One in ministry to the world.
Jesus,
Pray for your weak ones,
Your strong ones,
Your ones who have illnesses,
Your ones near death,
Your ones who breeze through life,
Your ones who struggle in life.
Jesus,
Pray for those who have lost loved ones,
Those who have especially loved ones this week in Boston bombings
Those who have lost ones due to illness and sickness.
Jesus,
We join you in these prayers for all your people,
Amen.
