A beautiful prayer from Pastor Kathy Ierien of Good Shepherd written for Family Promise:
Holy One, you are our
source of hope and life, and your love comes to us where we are. Bless
all those who gather together through the Family Promise network. Be
present for the families who shelter in this place. Support them in their
journey and bring them patience and courage to face each day, confident that
you go with them through the struggles and joys of life. Bless the
relationships that develop in this week to come, that those who were once
strangers may come together as friends. Help us all to continue to work
to fight homelessness in our community and nation, speaking and acting for
justice and peace. Be our shelter, O Lord, this day and through all
that is to come. Amen.
We are having a great week with the families and are so appreciative to clergy support and thankful for the amazing coordinators and volunteers!
