Creator of all, meet me.

I come before you with my full self

and everything that entails,

with my anxiety, my courage, my fear, my creativity.

I bring to my community my human self:

compassionate, imperfect, willing, vulnerable.

I meet others with my empathetic self:

understanding, tender, thoughtful.

Allow all I am

and all we are together

to be all that we need.

Allow me to trust in the depth of your love.

In your many names,

Amen.
