God who walks with us:
As we lean into the work to which we've
been called,
keep our eyes on the horizon,
that we might see beyond
to the enduring hope,
to the "and yet" that you promise us.
We make our way together:
steady our steps,
awaken our awareness,
give us the vision to see your goodness
in the signs of hope around us.
Transform our hurts, O Tender One,
that we might offer the light of hope
to those in our care.
AMEN
