Creating Access and Inclusion in Worship

CLOSING PRAYER

Disturb us, Lord, when we are too well pleased with ourselves, when our dreams have come true because we have dreamed too little, when we have arrived safely because we have sailed too close to the shore.

Disturb us, Lord when with the abundance of the things we possess, we have lost the thirst for the water of life.

Stir us Lord, to dare more boldly, venture on wider seas, where storms will show your majesty: where loosing sight of land, we find the stars.

We ask you to push us in strength, courage, hope and love. Amen.
