Dear God, we know that you reveal yourself to the pure in heart, that you show mercy to the merciful, and you comfort the downtrodden. Give us a hunger and a thirst for what is right, that we might be filled. And make us peacemakers, that we might be called your children. Help us learn from the meek, the poor in spirit, and those who face persecution for your sake, that we too might inherit the earth and receive the gift of your kingdom. Help us see through your eyes. Help us live according to The Way. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
