The below prayer is a portion of a morning prayer liturgy for Sabbath (Living Into a Resurrection-Created World). It is taken from the book Light for the Journey: Morning and Evening Prayers for Living Into God’s World by Chrisine Sine. This week our community started going through the seven themes, prayer and liturgies of faith shared in this book. I will probably share highlights from these prayers in the weeks ahead.
Risen Christ, we live today in anticipation of your resurrection-created world,
We live in the hope of your forgiveness,
We live in expectation of your healing,
We live in the assurance of your salvation,
Risen Christ, we will live in anticipation of your resurrection-created world.
Risen Christ, we take on your life today,
A life of loving and caring,
A life of healing and wholeness,
A life of sharing and giving,
Risen Christ, we take on your life today.
We will go into the week with compassion and love,
Knowing we are touched by the God of life,
May our lives shine with the holiness of God,
May our hearts be transformed by the glory of Christ,
May our ways be filled with the joy of the Spirit.
The love of almighty God surround you,
The peace of the risen Christ indwell you,
The fellowship of the Spirit unite you,
The life of the Triune God be yours,
This day and evermore,
Amen.
