We pray for the dreamers of this life, O God,
for those persons who imagine new possibilities,
who long for what others cannot perceive,
who spin dreams of wonder and majesty in their minds.

Defend them from ridicule and harsh criticism,
from self-doubt and lack of faith in their dreams,
and from abandonment of this call to make things new.

Grant that from their dreams
may come forth blessings for humankind
to enrich the quality of life
and the wonderment of us all.

Amen.
