<DIV>God of the desert,<BR>always there for us,<BR>when we thought we were
alone,<BR>dry and tested to be our true selves.<BR>Guide us through our
choices.<BR>Give us strength <BR>to walk out of our wasteland <BR>with renewed
integrity,<BR>through Jesus Christ our Lord, <BR>who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit, <BR>one God for ever and ever. Amen</DIV>
