May we celebrate, O God, each day we are given, each person we encounter and all that we experience. Help us to look with wonder at all the many blessings we receive each day and be grateful. May we face the challenges for what they are and not be filled with anxiety and fear when they come along. Let us look to the times when we were most fulfilled to guide us through those challenges. May we seek to serve others and share our love for you and others, O God of all, by how we live our lives now and always. Amen
