God of the hidden way and the open horizon,
gather all that is heavy and all that still holds hope.
When our world fractures and our patience grows thin,
form us in the quiet, faithful work of reconciliation.
Where love is given in service, often unseen,
renew strength and gladness for the journey ahead.
Set our feet again upon your way,
that through loss and longing new life may yet arise,
and a deeper song
begins to rise before the dawn. Amen.
