Faithful Creator,
You are the source and resource of all purposed and created life.
In an attitude of gratitude I accept your forgiveness and grace to forgive myself.
I accept your encouragement to learn what it means to be authentically human and make peace with my own humanity,
So that I can accept the sacredness of other beings.
With thanksgiving, I accept the spiritual, ethical, and moral responsibility for my own inner healing and joy.
I embrace the mystery of healthy loving relationships
As I learn to be an agent of change, reason, and tenderness upon the earth
That is an outpouring of your love for all life.
I accept your help so that I may learn to live honorably in covenant community,
Lifting my voice in care over criticism.
