Forgive us, our Redeemer, when we care more to be right than to hear Your voice or answer Your call. Despite not being as attuned to Your will or as responsive to Your will for us as You would like, You still offer grace to try again. Please continue to seek us out, even when we turn away. Amen.

Patent Teacher, please remind us when we are disturbed or upset that we have a choice on how to treat those around us. Help us be quicker to listen than we are to speak, help us be more interested in understanding than becoming angry. Amen.

Dear Savior, guide us to know You as the caring, loving Father that You are. Teach us to feel Your lovingkindness, to welcome the touch of Your warmth and acceptance. Help us to believe that we are truly loved. Amen.

Eternal Spirit, thank you that we are able to rely on you for all that is good, right, fair and honorable in our world. It is far too easy to focus on what we perceive as bad, wrong, unfair and dishonorable and come to believe that that is all there is and ever will be. We praise Your holy and righteous name. Amen.

While others come and go, Father, You are steadfast, immovable, unfailing. You are the solid rock on which our faith rests so firmly. Please teach us to trust this resting place as our foundation and our ever-present hope. Amen.

Mighty One, You are my strength. You have done and continue to do great things in my life and in the world. Please help me to focus on these great gifts and to offer the knowledge of Your presence to those I encounter today. Your strength is love in action. Amen.

Great Sustainer, thank you for Your readiness to assist me in anyway I need, every hour of every day, no matter what. I am excited to be here, ready to do Your will, knowing that You have empowered me with spiritual gifts just for me and my purpose on this planet. The mystery of how You know each of us and what we need to accomplish our goals and live with passion throughout our lives fills my heart and makes me want to dance with joy. Heaven sounds like a great place, God, but life feels incredibly wonderful too, and I am grateful for every moment of every day You have given me. Amen.
