Prayer of praise and thanksgiving
Our hearts
cry out to you O God
For you are
truly good
And only you
are the source of all that we need
On our best
days
we have our
excellent moments
But it’s so
hard for us
To do even
the best things
In the best
way
or for the
right reasons
And then
there are our less than best days.
But you are
different
You are good
Every moment
Of every day
Effortlessly
Overwhelmingly
Abundantly
Through and
through
Good.
How
beautiful it is
To find
ourselves in the presence
Of One who
Welcomes us
Holds us
Blesses us
Loves us
Knows us
Calls to us
Whoever we
are
Whatever we
have done or not done
A lighthouse
guiding the way in stormy seas
The rock that
does not move when the ground we stand on feels shaky
The sun that
is always still burning even when our part of the world seems dark
As close to
us as the air that we breathe
Always there
whenever we turn our hearts to you
Blessed be You
our God
Who formed
the universe
And wants to
transform each of us
So that we may
freely, fruitfully and joyfully walk in your ways
Amen
