Thirty-First Day of Easter
O God,
Raise us up so we can see past our present.
Help us trust in the great future
that you are bringing about.
Help us be drawn forward by that
great future so that we live in hope.
But don’t let our trust and hope
in your great future cause us to
wish we weren’t in our present.
Don’t let us wish our lives away.
Instead, use our trust and hope in
your great future to inspire us to live
fully and freely right here and right now.
Raise us up so we can see past our present.
Then, having seen past it, let us see it
with new eyes so we can live well in it.
Amen.
