πŸ™πŸΎ Abba, I come with sighs too deep to name.

Open our eyes where we’ve caused harm; break through our blindness and turn our hearts back to You-the One who sees, loves, and restores.

Awaken what is numb, revive what has withered, soften what has grown cold.

Rekindle Your Spirit’s fire within us.

Have mercy for the ways we’ve failed Your heart.

Jesus, help us return, repent, rise up, and walk in Your mercy and justice, Amen.

πŸ™πŸΎ Loving God,

Give us courage, creativity, and conviction to make a meaningful impact in fighting injustice and cruelty.

Equip each of us to do something huge or something little.

Allow our hearts to never stop breaking over the suffering of others and remind us of the promises you’ve made to us for a future filled with hope.

Thank you Jesus.

Creator of our balanced and beautiful family of plants and animals and air and water and land, who is as close to us and as mysterious as our own hearts and minds, please care for us and help us care for each other, protecting the web of divine sparks that lights the spectrum of our collective being.

πŸ™πŸΎ Holy One,

How long will we exploit those we depend on for healthcare, education, skilled labor, the food on our tables? How long will we punish people for being poor in the system we created? How long will we center and worship whiteness at the expense of everyone else? How long will we lack shame for the violence we have done?

Knock us down from our thrones & lift up the lowly.
Send us away empty & fill the poor with good things.
Bind us together with the vulnerable, joining our fate to theirs. Wake us, goad us until your love lives in us and acts through us, just as light must shine. Amen.

"September is National Su***de Prevention Month and September 8th is known as '988 Day,' a time to share hope through this life-saving 24/7 text and call lifeline. 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline is a free and confidential resource to help you when your hope is lost. 988 Day is also the same day my new book releases, (co-written with Indiana-Kentucky Conference UCC Minister, the Rev. Dr. Chad Abbott), Blessed Hope: 90 Daily Devotionals for Mental Health and Faith. We wrote this book together as a reminder of our need for one another, as people of faith, in our search for God and a more hopeful tomorrow."

πŸ™πŸΎ God of Love & Justice,

Protect immigrants, refugees, and LGBTQIA+ siblings from harm, fear, and oppression.

Surround them with safety, hope, and community. Shelter families fleeing violence, guide children walking alone.

Strengthen those who defend the vulnerable, who speak truth to power, and open hearts to radical inclusion. May our words and actions reflect courage and compassion.

Teach us to dismantle systems of hate, to stand with the stranger, the marginalized, the oppressed, and the lonely.

May we honor Jesus in every life at risk, for a . Amen

πŸ™πŸΎ Good Morning God,

In all the universe, You chose us!

Shooting stars above, but You chose us!
Sunshine of warmth, but You chose us!
Rain falling from the sky, but You chose us!
Oxygen sustaining life, but You chose us!
Planets floating afar, but You chose us!
Painted skies of wonder, but You chose us!

God, thank You for Your carefully handcrafted masterpieces. Help us to look at ourselves and each other with the same awe You have for us. Show us our unique beauty through Your lens.

Love You!

πŸ™πŸΎ Creator God,

Help us to be your people, working for a world where all workers are valued. A world where those who clean houses are also able to buy houses to live in. A world where those who grow food can also afford to eat their fill. And one where those who serve and care for others – in stores, schools, hotels, restaurants, nursing homes, and many other places –are, themselves, also served and cared for. A world where all workers everywhere share in the abundance that you have given us.

-Rev. Seth Wispelwey
Minister for The UCC Economic Justice Movement

πŸ™πŸΎ WE love you God,

We know ALL things work unto good for those who love God. Send forth the power of your Spirit to teach us how to beat swords threatening our neighbors into plowshares.

To call all people of this great nation to love and forgive and care for one another as our siblings, in God's family.
