8. Prayers of a Life in Tension by Stephen W. Hiemstra

Father God, Beloved Son, Holy Spirit

We praise you for your example in life.

In you, the law and the prophets are fulfilled.

Not in words, but in actions.

We are no longer without hope.

Good news is preached,

Broken hearts are healed,

Liberty is proclaimed for the captives.

In you, there is jubilee.

In you, there is comfort.

In you, death is forever banished.

That we may never mourn again.

Amen and amen.
