“This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life …”

Hear our prayer, O God.
We pray for the wisdom to make healthy choices
in the face of endless and confusing options.
Hear our prayer, O God.
We pray for the grace to redefine our relationships
with our parents and our friends as our lives change.
Hear our prayer, O God.
We pray for the grace to form new relationships.
Hear our prayer, O God.
We pray for the courage to swim against the current of society
as we seek to follow where you lead us.
Hear our prayer, O God.
We pray for the courage to take a stand with you
for justice and peace in this world in this time.
Hear our prayer, O God. Amen.
