PRAYER
FOR AND ASSURANCE OF GRACE
God
of life, in the beginning, you gave us a garden.
Where
the tree of life grew. Where we were invited to live in community
with you and all creation.
In
the end, in the midst of the New Jerusalem, there will be a garden.
Where
the tree of life will grow. Where the river of life will flow. Where
we are welcomed back into paradise.
In
between we search for the garden.
Looking
for signs of paradise in a world where paradise sometimes seems far
from real.
Gardener
God,
In
grace lead us to find the gardens in our lives, reveal where paradise
lies waiting to be found.
And
when that seems impossible,
remind
us of another garden,
where
your grace and power were revealed in the face of death and disaster,
where
resurrection returned paradise to the world.
Gracious
God, reveal your grace and power and life to us
throughout
our lives. Amen.
