"Meditation – 60 Days of Prayer" for Wednesday, 01 June 2016 from The Upper Room in Nashville, Tennessee, United States
Prayer of Hope
Generous God,
Sower of Seeds in the New Earth,
by your grace, our eyes glimpse new horizons, where the oppressed know liberation, where the saddened know happiness, and where this broken world knows unity.
May the utopia that is your Reign blaze in our hearts, like a flame that continues to burn,
until it finally reaches its goal.
May we step out in hope,
may our arms work for peace,
may our lips lovingly speak a litany of passion for life. Amen.[Prayer of Hope by Luciano José de Souza (Brazil). World Council of Churches, 2006. Used in the Opening Worship service “Falling on Good Earth” at the Texas Annual Conference, Sunday, May 30, 2016.]
