Our Lord is the Lord of all.
In goodness and in evil, the Lord reigns.
In peace and in war, the Lord reigns.
In health and in illness, the Lord reigns.
In the simple and in the inexplicable,
our Lord is the Lord who reigns.
The complexities of the world are endless; the complexities of our own lives are ceaseless. We are called to live as a people who not only speak of what is, but of what is to come - the full transformation of all of life. We profess our hopes, desires, and beliefs not as people who are certain of the means of this transformation, but as those who long for it.
We profess that God wants goodness for the world and that God works for the salvation of the earth and all who are in it. We know that creation is not complete, but that it is in the midst of re-creation. So we pray for our world to grow into the fullness that God desires for it. May God's kingdom come; may God's will be done. We live in the world; we join in its re-creation. We pray and live with the confidence that God will continue the good work that has been started.
Doug Pagitt and Kathryn Prill, "Body Prayer".
