Holy One
As I begin this day
help me to remember the unique gifts
you have entrusted me with
and your invitation to help you repair the world
Encircle me with confidence
joy
determination
laughter
ferocity
to keep out all forces that
wish to diminish or control me
Help me feel you beside me
around me
within me
As I set forth to do the work you have given me:
to witness, honor, and encourage
the abundance of life
here in this world you love so well
Amen
