Creator God,
we come before you with open hearts.
Hear our prayer.

'Change is not to be feared but to be acknowledged.
All creation & its constituent living entities grow & evolve.

The body transitions but the essence remains,
which is why when all things are changing & evolving,
God our Creator knows us personally & loves us,
because our Creator God knows our very essence.

In this relationship, through the storms of change, God holds us.
We cannot be pulled away by any storm of change as long as we hold onto the rock & refuge of our faith.

By Archbishop Chris Harper
