"God of our times, our years, our days...

You are the God of our work,
                                of our rest,
                                of our weariness.
Our times are in your hands. We come to you now
     in our strength and in our weakness,
      in our hope and in our despair,
     in our buoyancy and in our disease.

We pray to you this day, for ourselves and others like us in our greed.
     We are among those who want more...


     ...Be for us enough and more than enough,
     for we know about your self-giving generosity."

-Brueggemann,

"With all the graciousness we can muster"
