You breathe in us—
and from your stillness all life arises.
May your Name shine—
holy in us,
a clearing in our hearts
for your light to dwell.
Come—
your kingdom,
your vision,
your presence.
Unfold it here.
Let your desire move through us—
as it does through the heavens,
so also through this earth we walk upon.
Give us the bread we need now.
This day.
The bread of life,
the bread of awareness,
the bread of enough.
Loose the cords of mistakes that bind us,
as we release the strands we hold of others’ faults.
Let forgiveness ripple.
Do not let us enter the trial unaware—
keep us from forgetting who we are.
But free us
from that which stunts our growth,
from the shadows that swallow joy.
For yours is the kingdom,
the creative fire,
and the song—
rising now,
and always.
Let it be so.
