Father,

Thank you for life. Thank you for choosing us to be here now. Thank you for allowing us to be part of the changes that are happening. Come into our hearts, Father. Come into our lives and our world. Be in every breath we take in, and everything we exhale. Come into our time with our families. Be with our families and loved ones today, and every day. Come over us and be a balm to our anxiety, our fear, our sorrow. Take us in your hands an keep us safe. Shine Your Light through us outward into the world. “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid.” (John14:27)

We give thanks for all the many blessings in our lives. Father we thank you for Your Love sustaining us and our families. Our gratitude expands outward and becomes ripples of Love that touches people and things in our world and affects things in positive ways. “Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.” (Psalm 107:1)

Let it be so,

In humble gratitude,

Amen.
