We proclaim your love, generosity, and mercy. Singing praises to you brings us joy and makes the work and burdens light. Your works are amazing; we know that full well. Thank you, we flourish and grow in you. Thank you, in old age, we continue to bear fruit, stay fresh, and are useful. We love you, LORD.

Do not forsake us, LORD. You have always been with us, in times of trial and in times of peace. Tried as we are, today we believe. Speak, so we can hear you; remain in your hope and help; and sojourn in a good way.

Our God, who hears us, thank you for answering our prayers. Your forgiveness covers us and brings us into a relationship with you. We, your blessed children, are filled with joy and wonder as we see and experience your goodness all around us. Thank you for bringing us close to you.

We become aware we are your creation. We have what we have because of your love. We humble ourselves and are content being in the moment with you. We put our hope and trust in you.

We have not dealt honourably with creation and others. Search our hearts; create in us clean hearts. Renew your right spirit within us. Cast us not away from your presence in your fields and vineyards. We will praise you all of our days.

Thank you, Loving Divine Family, for having time for us and not turning us away. Thank you for the people in our lives that show us how to ask for help and to show you respect and honour. May our lives show us the works of your love and blessings.
