Father,

We greet this day full of promise, gladfully in service. Just as spring gives us buds on trees containing the potential of a floral explosion of beauty and fragrance, we believe in the promise of better tomorrows therefore we choose to live a brighter today. We realize that when we connect our heart with our thinking, our choices are clear and our footsteps flow. So as we make our way forward together, rededicating ourselves in service to you and to eachother, we ask for your blessing for our hands, our hearts, our thinking, our words and our actions. May they always be in harmony with your will and expand your love for our weary world.

As we come into balance with your mission for us, “I will hear what the Lord God has to say, a voice that speaks of peace, peace for his people and his friends and those who turn to him in their hearts. His help is near for those who fear him and his glory will dwell in our land.”(Psalm 85) May that peace spill forth from each of us, born out of respect and nurtured with the enduring pledge of a brightening world.

Bless us this day Father, all of our team members as well as all loved ones. May we all experience miracles today that yield joy out of sadness. May all of our good works be magnified a thousand fold so that they bear fruit for a world starving for hope and happiness. Because we know, Father, that you only want good for us, that you don’t want to see your children in pain and that if we choose, you will lift us up out of muddy waters and onto clean shores. We only need to give you our word, let go and allow, as we are told, “Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act.” (Psalm 37)

In peace and loving service,

So be it,

Amen.
