Sacredise - Prayer: Around The Well

Around The Well

by John van de Laar

Around the well of your grace, O God,
        are those who thirst for friendship and love;
    Help us to offer them
        the living water of community and connectedness;

Around the well of your life, O God,
        are those who thirst for joy and safety;
    Help us to offer them
        the living water of playfulness and protection;

Around the well of your mercy, O God,
        are those who thirst for wholeness and peace;
    Help us to offer them
        the living water of comfort, healing and welcome;

Around the well of your presence, O God,
        are those who thirst for meaning and connection;
    Help us to offer them
        the living water of service and worship;

May the life we have found in you,
    be the gift we share
        with all who hunger and thirst,
        with all who are outcast and rejected,
        with all who have too little or too much,
        with all who are wounded or ashamed,
    and, through us, may this corner of the world overflow
        with you living water.

In Jesus’ Name
Amen.
