Gracious God, Creator of infinite variety, we thank you for the many different personalities we meet each day: for fresh ideas that expand our vision, for new perspectives that challenge our easy assumptions, for those who teach us new things and increase our understanding of the world, for those whose experience complements our own and makes our community richer for their presence.

Gracious Spirit, Holy Friend, you who are the love surrounding us, teach us to love ourselves, to see ourselves honestly -- our beauties and strengths and capabilities -- our weaknesses and fears and anxieties. Help us to know what we really need and how to ask for it.
