A Prayer for the Abundance of Love, Grace, and Patience in the Body of Christ

   Dear God, you have told us – your children – that you have set your mind in never ceasing doing us good come what it may. We thank you for your everlasting mercy, your enduring grace, and your forbearing love even at such times when in our impatience, pride, and narrow-mindedness we grieve our brothers and sisters– those whom you love as dearly as you do love us. As you continue making all things new in your Creation by the working of your Spirit, we pray that you may renew our hearts and minds, and you may open the eyes of our understanding so that we may see and hold dear each one of our brothers and sisters as you see and hold us dear in your beloved Son, Jesus, your Christ. Amen.
