Inspire us Lord,
to seek you both in times
of joy, opportunity, and optimism,
and in times of disillusionment,
fear, and distress,
that we may find in you
the hope your kingdom,
the peace of your presence,
and the love by which you raise us
even from death to life.

Fill us, Lord,
with your creative,
reconciling love.
In response to calls
to exploit and enhance
differences between
people and nations,
to divide communities
and cultures,
to attack or
discriminate against
that which seems other,
may we build peace
and offer hope.

Lord, your apostle Thomas
would not simply accept
the faith of others,
but only a faith
that was his own.
May we encounter
your risen presence
in our own lives,
the fruit of your cross
and empty tomb,
that your life and love
may flow in us,
through us,
and from us.

Keep our hearts and minds,
our focus and faith,
fixed on you, Lord;
upon your call
and your kingdom.
Let us be not distracted,
diverted or derailed
by the lures of selfish gain,
but nourished and nurtured
by your gift of yourself,
ready to share your love with all.

We are human, Lord;
as we get used to things,
and to people,
and even to your love,
their familiarity can dull
the value we give them.
Inspire us to see afresh
the joys they bring,
to appreciate them anew,
as if we were seeing
spring burst forth
for the first time.

Awaken us, Lord,
to your presence
in every situation
that we encounter;
remind us of your promise
to be with us always,
and to perfuse our lives
with your peace.
Help us see the signs
of your presence and love
working in and around us;
rouse us to follow your lead.
