PRAYER FOR OURSELVES, PRAYER FOR OTHERS
Written by Bobbi Salkeld
Let us pray for ourselves –
We name the ways we do harm:
We over-consume
We ignore winter’s invitation to wait, to renew, to rest
Creator, show grace
We hold space for what we do not perceive:
We are nervous of change
We are afraid of the unknown
Christ, show grace
We give ourselves to the rhythms of love:
We brave reflection on our feelings
We pay attention to our body’s wisdom
Spirit, show grace
And let us show grace to ourselves
Let us pray for others –
We name the ways others have done harm:
They take too much
They refuse to imagine what could be possible
Creator, show grace
We hold space for what others do not perceive:
They do not see what we see
They may not know how much they hurt us
Christ, show grace
We imagine others in the rhythms of love:
They need to be safe
They are worthy of belonging
Spirit, show grace
And let us show grace to others
Amen.
