Our gratitude for this day to make our mark on this world, Father, a mark of love and fortitude and resilience. One that speaks out to all who are near that we are harbingers of your presence in our world, that you are alive and here, and your love for us is eternal and unconditional. That we all sometimes stray away from you in our thoughts and actions, but when we get too far we have an urge to return to you, and because you love us so, as your children, you simply accept us back with open arms. Thank you Father, for loving us so and enveloping us in your beautiful Light. “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.” (John 5:24)

We sometimes forget Father, that we can give you our burdens and concerns and you will make sure we do not fall under their weight. As we step forward, you lighten our load so that we can continue to work in service to the Light. You console us when we are in need and you restore our soul when it’s been beat up. You are the Light to our lives, and we are stronger in You. ““Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.” (John 5:25) We hear You, and we are here.

Bless us this day, bless our families, our warriors and our community leaders. Bless us with the ability to be fully awake and aware so we can be an effective force in our world. Aid and allow us to surpass all perceived limitations from all we have achieved in the past. This day forward, we will exceed what has been done before, to create something totally new, in service to the One True God.

Let it be so,

Amen.
