Oh LORD, our God, we praise you. Thank you for your great mercy that gives us life. You shower us with great compassion, expressing your kindness to us through Jesus Christ.
Divine Family, thank you for this sacred time with you. Thank you for the rain that washes away the mould, death, and garbage. Thank you for the rain that renews and nourishes creation. You desire to be in a harmonious relationship with us. Thank you for constantly seeking us and calling us into harmony with you and creation. Thank you for the rainbow that is a reminder for you of your loving covenant with us.
Give us your wisdom and compassion to care for all creation. As you care for us in these sacred paddocks, we will learn and follow your example to do better, celebrate you, and praise you like we should.
In you, we find our shelter and protection. Never let us be put to shame. Thank you for hearing us call out to you to be our place of safety, fortress, and protection. In you, we find we are loved and created for a purpose; our confidence and identity comes from you and only you.
We enter your sacred prayer space, seeking new life. You reveal to us that to gain life, we must first lose our lives. We fear these transitions–the unknown that comes from letting go of what we know or what we can control. You draw near, meeting us in the seclusion of our fears and doubts. Life-giving Spirit falls upon us, and we feel your peaceful presence.
