God,

Thank you for providing us
With a community of individuals
Who we can turn to

In our journey,
In our doubting,
In our questioning,
In our struggle.

Some days we feel lonely,
We feel attacked,
We feel discouraged,
We feel traumatized.

Allow us in those moments
To be surrounded by this tribe.
To be encouraged by their support.
To be held together with their kindness.
To be motivated by their bravery.

Let us come to each other’s aide
In the moments of need.

Let us be the ekklesia to one another.
The assembly of seekers of you

Let us extend love and open arms
To all who we journey with.

God, be our strong foundation.
Jesus, be our cornerstone.
Spirt, be our dwelling place.

Amen.
