With Joyful and Generous Hearts
God of all comfort,
all our delight is in you.
As a deer pants for streams of water,
so our hearts pant for you.
Your blessing restores us.
Your love sustains us.
Your Word guides us.
Even as we fast, you fill us.
Even as we pray, you answer.
Even as we cry, you comfort.
When we seek, we find.
When we knock, you open.
When we ask, you bless.
Lord help us to give as you give,
with open hands and hearts.
Teach us to live as you live,
with joyful and generous hearts.
Amen
