Compassionate God,
We are here to give ourselves to you and to your people.
It is through what we are and do that others will come to know you. We are here to bring peace to a broken people, and healing to those in need.
We are here to witness to the world, that we live in response to a desperate society seeking truth, equality, and freedom.
Parent of the poor and oppressed, we ask for your help. You have shown us how to be faithful in the midst of persecution. You have taught us to stand firm in the pain
that we experience in our broken world. Teach us to become sight to the blind, ears for those who are deaf to hear your Word, and hands for those who refuse to work at building the Reign of God.
We pray all this in your name and for your honor and glory.
