Thank you Father, for blessing us this day. We recognize your gifts in every moment and with humble gratitude receive them. We feel joy in how they bless us. The little things about life that make us grateful. We know you are the master of huge magnificent creations, but, you are also the architect of the most intricate, delicate, beauty. We are amazed at the magnitude of your good work and we give thanks. For you are bringing our world into a fine balance, and we are your benefactors, your stewards of a better world. “I bring the tall tree down and make the low tree tall. I dry up the green tree and make the withered tree flourish. I, the LORD, have spoken, and I have done it.” (Ezekiel 17)

As we open our hearts more and more, we give thanks to you, Father. For making us stronger, for testing our fortitude. For helping us develop the strength of mind that enables us to encounter danger, or bear pain, with courage. To be strong enough to face adversity head on and look it in the eye. Thank you Father for sending us the teachers that crack us open and challenge us to learn. Thank you for loving us so dearly that you would send actual Angels to tickle us awake and giggle at our silliness. You love us enough to be the music that get our feet started wanting to dance the dance of our dreams. You catalyze our Spirit to stretch and grow, and we are ever more vital and alive because of it.

Bless us today, Father. Bless our loved ones and our world. May we show our love and devotion to You through our work, as we put our hands to thy use in humble service.

Let it be so,

Amen.
