A Tear's Prayer

Oh God, sustainer of life

Creator of all things- including us

We thank You for the opportunity to make manifest Your will in this earth

For some our presence marks moments of great joy

May those who greet us with smiles remember this time in the days when uncertainty is to come

For others we are the evidence of unspeakable pain

May they understand the lengths You will go to heal them

Oh all powerful and all wise Master

Let us fall from eyes that seek to see You in everything

Let the hearts on which we rest be moved closer to Your will and grace

May we water gardens of victory

May we seal doors to the past

May we know when our time has come to be no more

And may we then encourage those we have met to learn to live without us

Amen
