Father,

What would we do without you in our lives? To know the real presence of you in the world making it feel like a more hospitable place. To feel the importance of being a community grounded in You. That gives us hope based in the faith that you are active in our world right here, right now, and the world is responding to You. We are waking up from old habits and ways of looking at things born out of coping with a system that hasn’t worked well for us. We are realizing that you meant for us to be more. You send us Angels that push us out of our comfort zones. You send us signs and synchronicities and Godwinks. You send us teachers to guide the way. Then you give us the grace of reflection and integration with new understanding. This allows us to apply what we’ve learned, to grow in natural and organic ways. In this way, Father, we realize we are more than we thought, and we are in actuality becoming more than we expected. “But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.” (2 Peter 1:5-7)

Bless our journey. Make us humble so that we do not wander off the path you have set for us. Help us keep our eyes open and ever mindful of you, as we walk our path in humble service. Bless our teammates and family, all of our loved ones and especially our pets. Bless our journey, may our path always be lighted and made clear by You.

In humble gratitude and service,

In Jesus’ name,

Amen
