We sojourn together. We seek truth, not gossip. We will speak, act, and live honestly and honourably upon your Ancient Path, and greet each other in a good way.

The desire of our hearts is to worship you and give you honour. Give us endurance, so we will wear your garments and run the race you have called us to. We will sojourn upon your Ancient Path in a good way.

We enter your sacred prayer space, feeling familiar with your teachings. At times, we think we understand what you are teaching us, and jump ahead of you with our assumptions. Your correction is swift and stern, but also loving and gentle. You draw us back to your presence, so we can understand more fully the meaning and impact of your teachings.

Divine Family, you speak words of hope, love, and blessings. Thank you for the example of all people of faith showing us how to put our trust and confidence in you. Thank you for blessing and providing for our family and friends.

We enter your sacred prayer space as we are. We have good and bad days. We rage and feel bitter about the injustices of the world around us. We sometimes wonder why arrogant people prosper. But you remind us of your promise to us. You count us among your righteous. Our destiny is not the destiny of arrogance.

Loving Divine Family,

We enter your sacred prayer space as your children. You chose us; you call us by name as we draw close to you. We have many questions about what we must do to remain with you. You reassure us that nothing can separate us from your love.
