Creator God,
who rules and protects,
who loves and forgives,
who calls us each by name:
free us from fear and despair,
protect us from life’s storms,
and save us for tomorrow.
May we know the joy of your grace,
the wonder of your love,
and the welcome of your embrace.
Amen.

Prayer of Thanksgiving
God of Jonah and sailors, of whales
and big fish, of far-away lands and
next-door neighbors, we trust in your
grace to save us from the storms of life,
both the unexpected and those we bring
on ourselves. We have heard your
invitation and offer ourselves and our
gifts to your service. Grant us the courage
to walk directly to the place you have
called us to go. Amen.
Sending Forth God of Love and God of Power (UMH 578, lyrics)
