May we recognize the possibilities this day has to offer. Help us to be present to the world around us and respond when our gifts can be used. Give us the sense of when we need to be patient. Allow us to listen fully to what is being presented to us. Let us feel free to try new things without being overwhelmed by the anxiety that often comes when we find ourselves out of our comfort zone. May we feel your presence filling us with your love and grace, O God this and everyday. Amen
