One: By the power of God’s Spirit we rise and embrace this day.
Spirit will touch our places of brokenness and we will be healed,

Praise be to God.

Our Mother-Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
Amen.
