One who created us and formed us –
You redeem us and call us by name. You are with us when we pass through the waters, and You do not let the rivers overwhelm us.
When we walk through fire, we shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume us.
Lord our God. Holy One. Savior – precious in Your sight. honored. loved.
You are with us. May we not fear.
In the name of the One who gathers us from the east and the west, the north and the south, we pray.
Amen.
