Draw Us Forth

Draw us forth, God of all creation.

Draw us forward and away from limited certainty

into the immense world of your love.

Give us the capacity to, even for a moment,

taste the richness of the feast you give us.

Give us the peace to live with uncertainty,

with questions, with doubts.

Help us to experience the resurrection anew

with open wonder and an increasing ability

to see you in the people of Easter.
