Bless us with the hope of new beginnings.

[Gabrielle Dean]

O God of life

Who chooses creation over chaos

And new beginnings over emptiness,

We bring you the disorder of our nations and world

And the emptiness of our lives and relationships.

Bless us and the nations with the grace of creativity.

Bless us and all people with the hope of new beginnings.
