Help us carry your light

Psalm 89:1–4, 19–26 

Advent 4: Love 

We praise you Holy One,

giver of peace everlasting. 

In the midst of chaos,

troubled politics,

contagious viruses,

droughts, fires, storms, floods,

be our peace, we pray. 

We praise you Holy One,

faithful in steadfast love. 

In the midst of chaos,

fraught family tensions,

loneliness and isolation,

ill health, grief, hurt,

be our healing love, we pray. 

We praise you Holy One,

redeemer of broken promise. 

In the midst of chaos,

overwork, no work,

relocations, dislocations,

ever new beginnings, 

be the promise we can trust. 

We praise you, Holy One,

light in and after the darkness;

help us carry your light wherever we go. 

Amen
