God, hurry to my side,
I need your support.
Stand with me against the people
who try to diminish me with shame;
People who try to force me into their narrow boxes
to suit some ridiculous, small-minded social standard.
Help them to see the error of their ways
and open their hearts to live lives of love.
For all who live their lives in your love can rejoice;
Knowing that you offer love and support to all.
With your guidance we can create a world
where everyone is free to be just as you made them.
But that day has not yet come, O God,
So be with me as I face the trials of day to day living.
For I know that with you by my side
I will have the strength to carry on.
