God of Power and Glory, we come to your altar this morning, seeking your presence in a world that is hurting and divided. Much of what we see is chaos, confusion, and anxiety. In this world, we need a glimpse of your glory. Show us your glory Lord, let us reflect your glory in this world. We pray our lives might be a window into your love and compassion. We pray your light might shine through us to the world. Amen.
