Father,
We greet the day today full of the potential of the moment. No matter what we are hearing about the world, every moment carries the possibility of big change within itself, a seed of the beginning of something wonderful and different. Forgive us Father for when we get disheartened, and become resentful and expect the worst. Realizing the power we have in our choices makes us even more alert to the possibilities around us. That allows us to grasp control out of the hands of hopelessness. We have a truer vision of the world and our relationship to time and eternity. Time, as we used to think of it, becomes transparent. In every moment, you give us the gift of steering toward better life through better choices. You bless us every day with more Light and different options.

Our days come alive, Father, with the awareness of all the choices, so that every new day becomes a blank canvas on which to create. This is a beautiful gift. A stunning array of colors with which to create a new masterpiece every day. The gift of creating a Life we truly want to live. One that allows us to experience more joy and peace and whatever else we want in our daily life. “and He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and understanding, in knowledge and all manner of workmanship, to design artistic works, to work in gold and silver and bronze, in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of artistic workmanship.” (Exodus 35:31-33)

Bless us this day, Father, so we may create a work that is worthy of You. Give us the tools and resources in abundance. We ask that you give us the ability to recognize the opportunities you set before us. May all our choices and creations reflect your everlasting unconditional love for us and may we be ever mindful of that love inside ourselves. “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)

In humble service,

Let it be so,

Amen.
