A Prayer for Saturday, November 15, 2014

Open

O God,

Help us to grow ever more open

to other ideas,
to other perspectives,
to other positions,
and
to other possibilities

so that we will be
open to life in its fullness
and
open to people in their variety.

Most of all,
help us to grow ever more open
to you so that we will
in all things,
in all situations,
in all people—
indeed, in all of life—
come to know you better
and grow in knowing
and in sharing
your grace, love, and mercy.

Amen.
