Gracious God,
be present to me
in the worn out and broken places of my life.
Forgive me where I have not loved or cared for others.
Renew my worn-out spirit
so that I might find new strength
to live as you would have me live.
Guide me anew
in the paths of your grace
so that I might participate
in your justice and peace.
Through Christ, amen.
