A prayer of praise and thanksgiving to a motherly God
Motherly God,
thanks to you for life and living, even when we are weary and worn-out.
Thanks to you for challenge and change, even when we seek safety and security.
Thanks to you for playfulness and pain, even when we seek moderation and mild-living.
Thanks to you for companionship when we are lonely.
Thanks to you for calling when we are settled.
Thanks to you for creativity when we are uninspired.
Bring us to newness of life as your people.
Bring us to wholeness of life from out of its fragments.
Bring us to fullness of life from your communion in and with us.
Motherly God, to you we pray,
Amen.
