Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. (James 1:12)

Father,

We thank you for this day. Thank you for choosing us to be here to be tested right now. Thank you for bringing us the experiences that challenge us to grow and for life’s bumps and bruises that keep us humble. Thank you for allowing us to step up and rise above the chaos to do truly great things. Come into our hearts, come into our minds, let our Soul sing out for truth, justice and freedom. Help us burst through the walls of what life has always been to discover new dimensions of what life can be. Keep us ever mindful that the miracles of change occurring now are according to your divine law so that we may rise up and claim our place as caretakers of this precious jewel called Earth.

Bless our friends and families as we go through this blessed time of change. May we all see things in their positive aspect from a higher vantage point. May we realize how we are developing more strength, more fortitude and resilience through this process. Help us learn from our past to rise above the challenges of today, ready to live tomorrow’s promise. May the trials of today prepare us to live our best life, with exuberance and gusto the way you always wanted your children to do.

Let it be so,

God is Victory,

Amen.
