Courage to Choose and Nurture Life

O God, Creator and Preserver of all - we humbly ask that you show us your ways: that we might be part of yor saving grace for all peoples.  We pray for the church universal - that it may be guided and governed by your Good Spirit that all who profess and call themselves Chrstians may be led into the way of truth, and have faith in unity of spirit and righteousness of life.  Give us the vision and courage to choose and nurture life, that we may receive your blessing.  Amen.
