God -
Now is the acceptable time and now is the day of salvation! We give thanks that Your listening and helping presence is with each breath we take.
May we commend ourselves in every way to Your service - through afflictions and hardship, riots and sleepless nights…by patience and kindness, genuine love and truthful speech. In honor and dishonor, we are Your servants.
Though the world sees us as imposters, unknown, dying, sorrowful, poor, and having nothing, through Your salvation, we are true, well known, alive, rejoicing, rich, and possessing everything. May we hold close the identity You give us.
Open our hearts wide to all whom we encounter, and may those we encounter open wide their hearts to us.
Remove all restrictions to our affections for Now is the acceptable time - Now is the day of salvation.
Amen.
