A prayer
Mighty God
we rejoice in your reckless and extravagant love
scattered among us
and found in the mud and thorns of life.
We rejoice
that your will for us and for the world
is not one of carefully apportioned judgement
or neatly wrapped rewards.
Praise be!
Your aim and desire for all your creation
is a cup full and overflowing with good wine,
a banquet for all to share,
a harvest of full and ripe grains,
a growing tree in which all can make their nest.
Your gifts, freely offered,
are life in all its fullness,
hope in abundance,
peace that passes understanding,
love that none can measure
from which nothing can separate us.
