God watching over this city

God of infinite love,
we know you to be Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
one God but in a community of relationship and expression.
You are watching over this troubled city;
weeping over this city; aching for this city;
and enfolding this city with your everlasting arms.
Protect and keep us, feed and teach us;
nurture and inspire us; guide and enable us.
Help us to make a worthwhile contribution to community life
and all our relationships,
that society may know peace with justice,
love with respect; healing with joy;
and hope for a brighter tomorrow,
through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
