Prayer of Thanksgiving

Inclusive Language Prayer of Thanks

Holy One, we thank you for the gift of life in its
vast arrays and complexities.
We thank you for the gift of friendship.
Jesus, we thank you that you modeled a life of
service and compassion to the people whom
society often forgot or ignored.

Wise Spirit, we need your loving eyes
in order to care for those you have put in our midst.
We need greater grace in order to serve
and be in ministry with everyone.

We ask all of this, so that more people can become part of the great story
of your love in action. This is why we pray, Thy Kingdom Come.

Amen
