Shared Prayer

Father of light, in whom there is no darkness Your Word declares that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, and that Your works are marvellous. For those who feel overlooked, ashamed, or worn down in body and mind, let this truth rise higher than every accusation. For it is written, let our souls know it well, and cleanse our thoughts from every lie that fights our praise. Teach us to honor You with our bodies, our words, and our choices, because we are Yours. Heal the places where we despise what You formed, and strengthen those caring for others while neglecting themselves. Great is thy faithfulness, You do not make mistakes, and You do not abandon the work of Your hands. We thank You for life, breath, and purpose, and we praise You with reverence and love. In Jesus precious name, Amen.
