A prayer that we might make Jesus' story our own

Storytelling Jesus,
You invite us to make your story, our story.
Your story reminds us God so loves the whole world.
Teach us, Jesus, your arts of storytelling, singing and dancing that open up paths of healing and renewal.
Help us, Jesus, to lean into and learn from your story;
to make it our own, so justice, loving kindness and mercy may join hands around the world that God so loves. Amen.
