Father, thank you for the blessings of this day. Thank you for looking after us so well. When we seek to connect with the inward workings of our Soul, we find how life’s ups and downs play on top of a solid undercurrent of joy. That joy is our knowing that we are loved by you, and that becomes a firm foundation of strength on which to experience and from which we experience life with deeper wisdom. When we bring in your Light, we see things more clearly and have greater understanding. We feel more connected with everything. Help us step through and move past the challenges of our day and help us always be mindful that it is our faith upon which we can rely when things get tough, and to possess the certainty that you are with us when they do. “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1

We can be strong in our knowing that you will be our guidance like a lamp shining in the darkness. Guide us oh Lord, “Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long.” (Psalm 25:4-5) We will step past the snares of the wicked and step through what held us back. “For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.” (1John 5:4) Thank you for blessing us with love that abides strongly and wipes away all fear and quenches many worries. Clearing any panic, slowing our thoughts down to be one with you in the center of our being. We know you will give us answers and meaning there. We only need to quiet, calm, and listen.

Let us always be mindful of the needs of others, in humble service.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen
