Dear Lord,
Who made me the way I am,
For some reason.

Bless me in this act,
Of co- creation with you.
Separate the parts of my past,
That only serve to harm,
And cleave them from my future,
Abundant in you.

Make your house a refuge for all peoples,
A shelter from the storms within and without,
And bless us with the hope and wonder of small children,
As we have been born again.
Amen.
