God, who created the heavens and the
Earth and all that lives
Bless us, heal us.
Make Your face to shine
Upon us and bring us peace.

May all leaders
Of governments,
nations, cities, towns, villages
through Your grace, be filled with
Your wisdom. May Your desire for
Life may be fulfilled.

Bless us, heal us,
May your face shine upon us
and bring us peace.

May suffering
Of body, mind,
or spirit be healed through
love -Yours, through faith - mine, ours.
Embrace us deeply. Take my troubled
Heart and my fears.

Bless us, heal us,
May your face shine upon us
and bring us peace.

Strong and yet ,
Gentle God, Mother
of all - birthing life
nurturing life, love food -
grace fuels hope, mercy, comfort,
her people, hers.

Bless us, heal us
May your face shine upon us
And bring us peace.

In thanksgiving
for the gift of life
and the mothers who birthed us
and those who nurtured us
and the nurturer within each
of us, and also for
Your most profound expression
of love, Jesus.
amen.
