PRAYER OF PRAISE Rev. Chris Braudaway-BaumanGod who is Love,From the silence of our hearts, speak to us. On the path to your true righteousness, lead us.For the pain we have caused, forgive us. And from the pain we have received, heal us.Where our eyes are closed to justice, open them. Where there are opportunities to increase joy, show us.In the work of loving our neighbors, teach us. And with the choice to bear our crosses, grant us peace.For even as you are One, so too is the Law of Love. Give us the will to trust this now,As we bind our hearts together in worship.Amen.
