Father,

We welcome another blessed day gifted from your hands. As we observe the cycles of life in nature, we are reminded that every year brings us a new chance to learn through the rhythm of life, death and rebirth. It may feel as if our lives are on a yearly repeat, but it gives us an opportunity to elevate our experience in a way that takes us on a journey spiraling upward year by year. As we climb the staircase, Father, we become more authentic, more light-filled, more fueled by our unique passion. We embrace this season of renewal with joy.

At this point, we allow the healing process of renewal to surge, raising our spirit up and feeding our bodies. We open our hearts and invite the experience of your healing force into every cell our body. We come alive with the rhythms of life-giving nature. We know, that any time we need to be restored, we can be washed in nature’s refreshment. “Let his flesh become fresher than in youth, Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor;” (Job)

We ask that you bless our family and friends, our teams and tribes. May we all be renewed with strength and vitality, so that we may serve you in our rising reality “and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him—“ (Colossians) We know there is a way out of this mess, Father, and we know that you have cleared the path for us.

In gratitude and loving service,

Amen
