| Mosaic Gathering Prayer: April 7, 2019

Father of us all
We bring our hearts, minds and bodies before You this morning.
Anything that is anxious and scattered within us, we still.

We center ourselves in this place, in our chairs, in our bodies.
And we open ourselves to You.

Holy Father, You created our hearts and You know our hungers.

Sweet Spirit, You dwell within us and You see our thirst.

Strong Brother, You walked among us and You know our pain.

We invite You into the broken places in our hearts;
Dear Lord, bring healing.

We invite You into the anxious places in our minds;
Dear Lord, bring calm.

We invite You to bless anything unloved in our bodies;
Dear Lord, bring affirmation.

We invite You to touch any strife in our relationships;
Dear Lord, bring grace.

We invite You to hold any pain in our lives;
Dear Lord, bring peace.

We invite You into our homes, our neighborhoods, our city, our country;
Dear Lord, bring restoration.

We invite you into our world;
Dear Lord, bring love.

Together, we affirm the reality of the abundant life You offer.
Together, we pray for an ever-increasing experience of this abundance.

We lay our doubts and our frustrations in Your hands.
And receive from You, 
Joy.
