God of Transformation, there are parts of my life that are rotten and decaying. Although I try my best, I can’t escape the reality of my brokenness. With you, O God, there is hope. Through your great love for me, I am created anew. Your love and grace are always at work in my life, bringing about change and resurrection. Help me to recognize your presence and action in this day so that I might participate in what you are doing. Guide my focus and efforts beyond myself and let me be an instrument of your transformation in the lives of others. Through Christ, Amen.
