Prayer for Transgender Day of Remembrance — Thandiwe Dale-Ferguson, USA

God of all ages

God of all peoples
God of all hopes and dreams

Today we remember those among us who are transgender:
We grieve the murders of those killed for the sake of hate,
We celebrate the lives of each and every transgender individual;
Those who are able to live into their fullest selves
And those who fear the repercussions of authenticity.

Help us and our world to transition
From grief to celebration,
From ignorance to understanding,
From shame to pride,
From complacency to activism
And from hopelessness to hope.

We lift these prayers up to you, O God,
You who are beyond binaries,
You who calls us each by name and loves us beyond measure.
Amen.

Thandiwe Dale-Ferguson serves in ministry at Loveland United Church of Christ in Colorado USA
