Father,

We thank you for the gift of another day. A day to experience as opportunity rather than drudgery. Thank you so much for caring about each of us to give us challenges that open us up and allow us to step up like stepping stones. Stepping stones that are disguised as problems. If we look more closely, we can now see they are a staircase leading upward toward more light, acquiring better understanding. “That according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being,” (Ephesians)

When we go inward into our temple space, we take our concerns to you, looking for insight that will help us see things in a different way in order to see solutions we had missed. In our temple with You, Father, we can give you our problems, for You are the Great Transformer and our Source of strength and hope. In our cocoon with you, we learn to reflect and recognize You working in our lives in transformational ways. We see your that you move in divine ways, directing our lives, directing our Soul. You ennoble us like a soft voice on a gentle breeze. “Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.” (Isaiah)

Bless our day today and bless our lives. Come into every aspect of our world so that the whole thing collectively can open up to the beauty of life, and love. “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” (Romans)

In loving service,

Let it be so,

Amen.
