Prayer — For The City We Are Building

God of light,

you see the cities we build—

not only with stone and streets,

but with choices, habits, and priorities.

You know how easily comfort can become our refuge

and abundance can dull our attention.

Forgive us for the ways we hoard and protect

what makes us feel secure,

while others struggle to have what they need.

Teach us to build a different kind of world—

one that makes room,

one that opens gates,

one that interrupts harm

and chooses mercy over indifference.

Slow us down where justice needs patience.

Open our hands where fear has made us cling.

Widen our hearts

so our light does not shine only for ourselves.

Shape us into a people

whose lives reflect your care for the vulnerable

and your hope for the world.

Amen.
