A liturgy for the heart of TCKs.
This precious life you’ve entrusted in my care -
may their heart be inclined toward You, their Creator;
in their joy, grief, and loss
a tender heart ready to receive Your love.
As they wipe off tears on their pillows
in the wake of constant hellos and goodbyes,
their hearts scattered in different countries,
questioning, “When will I see them again?”
In the unsettledness, yearning, longing -
may they hear Your voice of…
Beloved;
Beloved;
Beloved.
A soft heart thirsty for the Father’s never-ending love,
the One who holds them through it all;
when they feel different from those around them,
when they don’t understand what’s spoken -
give them hearts ready to welcome Your song of…
Beloved;
Beloved;
Beloved.
Their gaze beholding You
as they embrace multiple cultures;
privileged to experience more dimensions of You in what’s reflected;
endowing them with -
eyes to view others the way You see them,
a heart filled with compassion,
hands ready to love in action,
a mouth speaking Your words of truth…
Beloved;
Beloved;
Beloved.
No matter what lands they go to,
whatever horizons explored -
may the fullness of Your love invade their soul,
Anchoring them to the Rock,
their feet firmly rooted in You as their Home…
Beloved;
Beloved;
Beloved.
Known,
received,
embraced,
as Your face shines upon them - delight!
Amen
