Dear Lord God You are my shelter and my strength My place of refuge when all the world seems too much I trust in you completely, because I know you I see your smile in the faces of friends and family and strangers in the street My faith is buoyed with your warmth I feel your presence I do not fear what the future holds for I know that you have ordered it for my highest good, and for the good of all humanity In every season, a blessing In every challenge, an opportunity to know you more, to love and to trust you more I am so grateful, and so thankful, for your grace and your mercy Thank you In spirit, in love, in the brilliance of all creation Amen
