Gatherer, Keeper, and Redeemer -
Gather us from our scattered places, and make our lives like watered gardens. For we are languishing.
Save Your people, O Lord.
Console us as You lead us in straight paths by the water’s edge. Turn our mourning into joy and our sorrow into gladness.
Save Your people, O Lord.
Remember the vulnerable - those from the farthest parts of the earth…the blind…the lame…the pregnant…those giving birth. Keep this great company as a shepherd keeps the flock.
Save Your people, O Lord.
Save us, so we may sing of Your goodness. Save us, so we may rejoice with dancing. Save us, so we may be satisfied with You and illuminate Your goodness.
In the name of the One who comforts us in our weeping, we pray.
Amen.
