On March 22nd I opened the Washington State Senate in prayer:
Holy God of wisdom,
Today we give thanks for this gathering
For the diversity of creation called together
To care for our shared humanity
We give thanks for the many here
Dedicated to this work
We pray That a spirit of peace and mutuality
May permeate their hearts and minds In our triumphs and in our failures, may our care for one another guide all that we do towards our shared flourishing Knowing that our common life depends upon one another’s labor. Be with these leaders in division and unity May they know the presence and compassion of your love Equip them with a steadfast dedication to those whom they serve That together we may care for our common life And know and love one another more deeply. Amen
