Prayer - We are 'fearfully and wonderfully made'

Prayer


We are 'fearfully and wonderfully made', said the Psalmist. Each one of us human, yet bearing a spark of the divine, of our almighty, humble, vulnerable God;

You are our God,
And we are your people.

Each of us is bound to the other by intangible strands, cords of love, at best seen when we care for each other, without reserve, without limit, seeing in each other the face of Jesus, confirming our relationship, a relationship that we affirm now for

You are our God,
And we are your people.

We are members one of the other, living, striving, caring, loving together; like so many parts of one body, your body, here now in this time and place for

You are our God,
And we are your people.
