Reflection and Renewal: Sharing Our Inward Healing Outward (based on Matthew 24:45)

God, your goodness and love strives to bring forth abundant life throughout your universe. You've called us to be your hands and feet in that effort.

But sometimes we have remained on the sidelines. Sometimes we've resisted letting your love lead us beyond our fear or shame. And sometimes - even when we've tried our level best to bring out the best in everyone and everything - we've done so less than perfectly.

So we come asking for forgiveness and healing. Help us to surrender the narrow lenses which limit our vision. Help us to see the world as you do. Help us to listen for your everyday nudges with open ears,  hearts, and minds.

Amen
