O Yahweh, may we who seek you find you.
May your Shalom envelop and pervade us,
ooze out of our pores and flow from all our words and deeds.
May we become instruments of divinely-inspired love and wholeness,
making no space for improper confrontation and all insults and hatred.
May individuals, families, congregations, communities, clans, tribes, and nations be whole
and justice plentiful in all its forms.
May this occur for the common benefit of all and your glory.
And, by grace, may I play my part faithfully in this sacred endeavour. Amen.
