Father,

Thank you for loving me. You are my refuge. You are my Peace. You are the Love that guides my life. You are the Love that fills me. You’ve taught me so much. In every moment, in every challenge, you’ve never left me. You are ever loving and ever-filling to over-flowing.

I love you, Lord.

You have strengthened my faith, gently, lovingly. You have helped me build up my character. You have opened my eyes so that I see you everywhere, in every living thing, in every moment. You are carefully crafting and sculpting this world. We are participants in the greatest time ever to be alive.

Thank you Lord.

For Loving us so dearly as to bring such Peace and Joy into our Lives. You have ceased the onslaught. You have given us hope. You have given us a chance to breathe in the life-giving Peace of Life. When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, ‘Silence! Be still!’ Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm.” (Mark 4:39)
