Almighty, merciful, and loving God,
Yours is the love that knows no barriers, no borders, no boundaries. Yours is the love that conquers distance, time, troubles, even death itself.
Wherever we find ourselves, by your love, draw us together in communion with you and each other. To share, by faith in you, the peace we possess on account of our unity in You. To share, together, the joy of fellowship with each other anchored in Christ and His gifts. To share, in thanks, the countless blessings you bestow on your creation and your children as you crash in your Kingdom light. Remind us that we are one. All the saints of the royal priesthood of all believers, united in one body and one Spirit, one hope and one faith, one light, one baptism, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, our justifier and sanctifier and great high priest, through whom all things came to be and in whom we now live.
Lord Jesus,
To those of us that are searching in darkness, by the power of your Word, shine your Kingdom light. To those of us that are suffering, grant hope and perseverance, for though there is suffering and trouble in this world, we can take heart, for you have overcome the world. To those of us that are broken, grant healing and wholeness in the gift of forgiveness and restoration we receive only in you and your work. Rest us in your fulfilled promise that we are saved, now and forever more.
AMEN.
